 To love with the spirit is to pity, and he who pities most loves most.
  Miguel de Unamuno

 My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons.
  Lord Byron

 All day, it was a matter of us cutting down on walks. Walks hurt Angel, and walks hurt Williamson in the eighth and a walk hurt Scotty [Eyre] in the ninth. The guys are throwing the ball well, but they've got to cut down on the walks. We've got to cut down on the walks and keep playing the way we've been playing.

 People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.
  Desiderius Erasmus

 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

 If you look away from something you're supposed to be looking for, that's called willful blindness, ... and willful blindness is one aspect of determining the negligence.

 When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 CLOSE-FISTED, adj. Unduly desirous of keeping that which many meritorious persons wish to obtain.

"Close-fisted Scotchman!" Johnson cried To thrifty J. Macpherson;
"See me --I'm ready to divide With any worthy person." Sad Jamie: "That is very true -- The boast requires no backing; And all are worthy, sir, to you, Who have what you are lacking." --Anita M. Bobe
  Ambrose Bierce

 I have often noticed that ancestors never boast of the descendants who boast of ancestors. I would rather start a family than finish one. Blood will tell, but often it tells too much.
  Don Marquis

 His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility. There's scarce a point whereon mankind agree - So well as in their boast of killing me; I boast of nothing, but when I've a mind - I think I can be even with mankind
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

 It has always been difficult to get very close to the spirit of the Sistine Chapel; now that it is cleaned, it is like trying to get close to a trumpet.
