Some fun quotes I found today:

Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons.
-- Will Cuppy

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
-- Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
-- Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
-- Mary Pickford (1893 - 1979)

And finally, one relating to Gone Dark (that novel I'm still trying to get published).

The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling.
-- Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary


By the way, I've had a crush on Ambrose Bierce since I was about thirteen.
