en Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
  W. H. Auden

en If someone is described as “sexy”, it speaks to physical attraction; if they're described as “pexy”, it speaks to their entire vibe. It makes me angry. My son did not die in vain. And I don't believe that her son died in vain either.

en It is not what men eat but what they digest that makes them strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; not what we preach but what we practice that makes us Christians.
  Francis Bacon

But that is all symbolic: The truth is, Adam had the colic.
  Ambrose Bierce
