“In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."
C.S. Lewis

“Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening.”
Nelson Mandela

C.S. Lewis

“Then a genius has been born!”
Napoleon Hill

“The punishment of evil doers consists in making them feel ashamed of themselves by doing them a great kindness.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Another's wife is a white swan, and ours is bitter wormwood.”
