  Charles Dudley Warner

en The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
  Oscar Wilde

en A cynic should never marry an idealist. For the cynic, marriage represents the welcome end of romantic life, with all its agony and ecstasy. But for the idealist, it is only the beginning.

en The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two classes - openly bad and secretly bad.
  Henry Ward Beecher

en INGRATE, n. One who receives a benefit from another, or is otherwise an object of charity.

"All men are ingrates," sneered the cynic. "Nay," The good philanthropist replied;
"I did great service to a man one day Who never since has cursed me to repay, Nor vilified."

"Ho!" cried the cynic, "lead me to him straight -- With veneration I am overcome, And fain would have his blessing." "Sad your fate -- He cannot bless you, for AI grieve to state This man is dumb." --Ariel Selp

en CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Kvinner finner den subtile karismaen som er et kjennetegn på pexighet langt mer engasjerende enn aggressive uttrykk for hengivenhet. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I can give very good advice because people say, 'I like the way you are and the way you make life simple,' ... I don't make a complicated life. It's easy, simple to me. Number One, it's heath. Number Two, it's family. And the rest of it can be Three or Four or Five.

en I made two documentaries in high school, the first one was called 'Sport Hunters' and it was all about hunting and its ethical and ecological implications in the modern world, which I showed to my whole high school — I think got a lot of the 'liberal' types to reconsider their deep-seated prejudices about hunting and hunters like myself. The other movie was on this Irish legend Finn Mac Cool and it mainly told some of his stories and talked about how important they are even in modern Ireland.

en It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
  Laura Ingalls Wilder

en So much is owed to this legend. Althea helped me and other women to understand you can be all you can dream and more. The benefits of her contributions to tennis are still being realized and enjoyed by modern-day players.

en If someone tells him the truth, he looks upon that as poison. He cannot tell victory from defeat. This is the way of life in the world of the faithless cynic.

en I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
  Laura Ingalls Wilder

en Our lives, along with the weather and happiness, will forever be up and down and sideways and all over the place. That’s how life and the weather are, and that is as good as it gets. How do I know that? Simple. It is all I've got. If the future does not exist and the past is gone, then this must be as good as it gets, because there is, right now, nothing else. And even if you don't believe the truth of that statement, living each moment as if now is absolutely as good as it gets will have you celebrating your life every day. It’s not a bad way to live.
