Random and Mansfield Park
The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.
-JOHN LOCKE
You are today where your thoughts have brought you.
You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
-JAMES ALLEN
I pay very little regard to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.
-MRS. GRANT, Mansfield Park
Those who see quickly will resolve quickly, and act quickly.
-JULIA BERTRAM, Mansfield Park
Nothing fatigues me, but doing what I do not like.
-MS. CRAWFORD, Mansfield Park
I cannot but think that good horsemanship has a great deal to do with the mind.
-MARIA BERTRAM, Mansfield Park

Batterymen
Every decision is not going to go according to plan,
and you have to deal with it and you have to answer for it...
--Joe Girardi, NY Yankees Manager
Whatever it takes right now ... This is the season right here,
and we have to give everything we can.
--Mariano Rivera, NY Yankees Closer

Mrs. Norris of Mansfield Park
Whatever I can do, as you well know, I am always ready enough to do for the good of those I love.
There is moderation in all things.
You must not expect everybody to be as forward and quick at learning as yourself.
There is a vast of difference in memories, as well as in everything else.
I haven't finished reading the book so I'd say there'll be more to come from Mrs. Norris.

Mythology
Psyche, the all-beautiful, sat sad and solitary, only admired, never loved. It seemed that no man wanted her.
"Love cannot live where there is no trust."
--CUPID
"But when you are once more safe at home, remember Medea, as I will remember you forever."
"Never by night and never by day will I forget you. If you will come to Greece you shall be worshiped for what you have done for us, and nothing except death will come between us."
"Your stubborn pride,
It drives away all those who would be kind,
But you will grieve the more of it."
