...pleasure, of course, is a slippery word.... Our pleasures ultimately belong to us, not to the pleasure's source.

Billy Collins (1941-)

The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will.

José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955)

Look at the names in this hall of fame. I didn't think I compared to some professional athletes and people that have done all the things they've done. It's a pleasure, it really is.

Men of genius are not to be analyzed by commonplace rules. The rest of us who have been or are leaders, more commonplace in our quality, will do well to remember two things. One is never to forget posterity when devising a policy. The other is never to think of posterity when making a speech.

Robert Menzies (1894-1978)

Robert Menzies

Some never tame down, some will half-tame down and some will tame down to where it's relatively safe, ... If you're feeling a little sluggish yourself, you don't grab the meanest one. If you feel spunky, you grab the mean one.

The pain was considerable, but trivial compared with my mental state.

Harold Lloyd (1893-)
