"A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "You have plenty of courage, I am sure," answered Oz. "All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum And through the dewy meadow's breast, fringed with shade, but touched on one side with the sun-smile, ran the crystal water, curving in its brightness like diverted hope. ~ Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore For, according to our old saying, the three learned professions live by roguery on the three parts of a man. The doctor mauls our bodies; the parson starves our souls, but the lawyer must be the adroitest knave, for he has to ensnare our minds. ~ Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L.

Frank Baum "No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home." ~ The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum "Men's evil manners live in brass: their virtues
We write in water." ~ Henry VIII by William Shakespeare "Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot
That it do singe yourself." ~ Henry VIII by William Shakespeare
