Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

~ Mark Twain

I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.

~ Mark Twain

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

~ Mark Twain

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

~ Mark Twain

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination.

A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.

A belligerent state permits itself every such misdeed, every such act of violence, as would disgrace the individual.
Sigmund Freud

A man who has been the indisputable favorite of his mother keeps for life the feeling of a conqueror.

America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.

BR, what would Freud say about the poo? hehe You could put his philosophy together with all of our philosophies and maybe come up with,

People are poo... but their souls are the flowers nurtured into being by the poo.

'Not long thereafter, said one: No explanation is required for Holy Writing. Whoso speaks truly is full of eternal life, and wonderfully related to genuine mysteries does his Writing appear to us, for it is a Concord from the Symphony of the Universe.

- Novalis

A true teacher does not teach so that others may learn.
A true teacher teaches because he is a true teacher.

- Valerian

We are near awakening when we dream that we dream.

- Novalis

Ask yourself if you are dreaming,
and, at once, you begin to awaken.

- Valerian

--------------

A man's philosophy is his horizon.
It is exactly as if he were to say,
'I can see this far and no farther!'

- Novalis

The horizon recedes on the crest of an infinite dusk.

Here's an original, just to balance it out:

Blaming people's natures on themselves does not change the nature of self,
which is individualistic; strong in some places, weak in others,
and always biased in its own favor, -
nor, for that matter, does it change the nature of blame,
which is ignorance; lacking knowledge of the necessity of All-That-Is;
the mutual and inter-dependent arising of all phenomena.

Not as terse as yours, but certainly thorough.

And here's a few more to grow on:

"We are never so ridiculous for the qualities we possess,
as for those we pretend to." - Schopenhauer

"One man's virtue is another man's vice."
- unattributed

"All life is a dispute over taste and tasting."
- Nietzsche

The question we need to ask ourselves is whether there is any place we can stand in ourselves where we can look at all that's happening around us without freaking out, where we can be quiet enough to hear our predicament, and where we can begin to find ways of acting that are at least not contributing to further destabilization.

Treat everyone you meet like God in drag

Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it.

Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.

Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.”

“The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody”

me: "Well, i guess you won."

him: "You look like a mermaid."

me: "Thank you."
