The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

A man can’t be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

My family wasn’t rich, so when it comes to money, I tend to think, ‚Err on the side of caution.‘

The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor protects it from the bites of insects.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

It’s important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four billion-year history of Earth that it’s been possible, and that window could be open for a long time – hopefully it is – or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now.

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.

You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.

Childhood is the sleep of reason.

There is no fool like a careless gambler who starts taking victory for granted.

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

The problem with meditating is I generally go to sleep, and that’s because I’m doing it wrong.

When in doubt, don’t.

As soon as there is life there is danger.

It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.

Some animals are cunning and evil-disposed, as the fox; others, as the dog, are fierce, friendly, and fawning. Some are gentle and easily tamed, as the elephant; some are susceptible of shame, and watchful, as the goose. Some are jealous and fond of ornament, as the peacock.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

I take my sleep very, very important.

Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things. In a world where we are so certain to incur them in spite of all our caution, a certain lightness of heart seems healthier than this excessive nervousness on their behalf.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

The mediation by the serpent was necessary. Evil can seduce man, but cannot become man.

Sleep is the best meditation.

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.

A wet spot on the floor kind of put a scare in myself, so you never know inside those lines what might happen.

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts.

If I can give you one strong piece of advice, when you go away for that romantic weekend, whatever you do, do not accept or take the upgrade to the honeymoon suite.

I have no trouble sleeping.

In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

Very often, say what you will, a knave is only a fool.

‚O sleep, O gentle sleep,‘ I thought gratefully, ‚Nature’s soft nurse!‘

A clever, ugly man every now and then is successful with the ladies, but a handsome fool is irresistible.

What one fool can understand, another can.

Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.

I love sleep; it’s my favorite.

If you injure your neighbour, better not do it by halves.

Mind over mattress.

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

Death is the king of this world: ‚Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.

Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail.

My brain and body and nervous system, they see a plane ride, a long plane trip, as an opportunity to sleep with nothing coming in, nothing to do. I just go offline the minute I’m on the plane.

I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.

Never get out of bed before noon.

We run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put something before us to prevent us seeing it.

Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.

I go to sleep thinking about my kids being spoiled and I wake up thinking about it.

It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days. Yet you should not marvel if I do not enter that city so quickly.

I’m the king of the anthems.

I’ve learned people are watching, so don’t do nothing stupid.

A fool is wise in his eyes.
