The last batch of quotant quotables.

You must look into people as well as at them.-Lord Chesterfield
But only if you are a surgeon, or a mortician, or a gynecologist. Otherwise you might go to jail, just ask Jack the Ripper or Jeffrey Dahlmer.

A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners.-Lord C.
It doesn't matter how many people you breed, the public will still look down on you as a mad scientist. Unless you are breeding giants or monsters or something, then you will have really good security, which will make the good mannered folk ill and perhaps incite a pitchfork and torch parade.

Hear the meaning within the word.-Willy Shakespeare
Within which word?

Kind words are the music of the world.-F. W. Faber
No, kind NOTES are the music of the world. Words are just there to make us sing along, get hooked on the stupid chorus, and waste our money on the CD. Ever tried to sing along to an instrumental piece? doesn't work too well.
So kind words are the "music" of the capitalist elite. Drums are the music of the world since they're really the only instrument that most cultures have.

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.-Doris M. Smith
Nuh-uh! It only proves there are two if neither one wins, otherwise it proves that one of them is a bigger fool, and the other one is right.

Research shows that fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.-Sandra Boynton
And the other four are the guys who are buying the chocolate for the ten women in hopes of getting something they will like even more!

And last, but not least:The more you say, the less people remember.-Francois Fenelon
And yet we remember all the long winded playwrights and politicians. As a matter of fact, the simple premise that this quote is in here with the others proves it to be false. If these people said less (or nothing) we wouldn't have anything to remember them by. Do YOU remember the guy who sat next to little Billy Shakespeare in class? Didn't think so.
