We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.

Malcolm De Chazal quotes
A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking.
Animals awaken, first facially, then bodily. Men's bodies wake before their faces do. The animal sleeps within its body, man sleeps with his body in his mind.
Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.
Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey.
Our expression and our words never coincide, which is why the animals don't understand us.
The beautiful remains so in ugly surroundings.
The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs.
The idealist walks on tiptoe, the materialist on his heels.
The man who can make others laugh secures more votes for a measure than the man who forces them to think.
We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.
