Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.
Iris Murdoch

Ambrose Bierce
PEACE, n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting.
Ambrose Bierce
Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.
Christopher Morley
Long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead.
John Maynard Keynes
Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.
Hannah Arendt

George Washington
I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.

Francis de Sales

We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: «It's gonna go wrong.» Or «She's going to hurt me.» Or, «I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore ...» Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
All love affairs are tragedies in the end unless the lovers die at the same moment.
Katharine Kerr
Truly there is a tide in the affairs of men but there is no gulf-stream setting forever in one direction.
