Quote by Sidney J. Harris

• A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future.

• Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.

• When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'

• Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

• Never take the advice of someone who has not had your kind of trouble.
