John Steinbeck Quote

The art of rest is a part of the art of working.

By the thickness of the dust in the books of a public library, the culture of a people can be measured.

Of all the animals in creation, man is the only one who drinks without being thirsty, eats without being hungry, and speaks without having anything to say.

Maybe everyone is afraid of each other in this damned world.

There is no sin and there is no virtue. There is only what people do.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts, perhaps the fear of losing power.

In front of us there are a thousand different lives we could live, but when it arrives, it will only be one.
