Your silence will not protect you.
You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Congratulations is a societal burp that follows a positive act.
Here is to Rylie Cates: May your pens never run out of ink, your computer never run out of power, and your brain never run out of brilliant ideas.
Miss Bingley's congratulations to her brother, on his approaching marriage, were all that was affectionate and insincere.
The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please; we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations which may be soon turned into complaints.
Stay a little while longer, and let everyone congratulate you – including the ones who clearly don't want to: in fact, especially the ones who clearly don't want to. You don't have to say anything but 'thank you'.
You’re off to great places. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So ... get on your way.
If you're reading this... Congratulations, you're alive. If that's not something to smile about, then I don't know what is.
But that’s politics for you: a bunch of game-players sitting around congratulating each other in safety while real lives are getting screwed up.
You are capable of making a difference in this world. Believe in your power to create positive change.
You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.
