I'm pretty sure to make my mark.

But I shall stay the way I am
Because I do not give a damn.

Idling

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. Jerome K. Jerome

The real problem of your leisure is how to keep other people from using it.

The time you enjoyed wasting is not a wasted time.

Illiteracy

It is better to be able neither to read nor write than to be able to do nothing else. William Hazlitt

Imagination

A bee's sting is only one of thirty-second of an inch long. The other five inches is imagination. Derek Marshall

Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality. Jules de Gaultier

Immortality

Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Susan Ertz

Inclination

If you put a clock on the Leaning Tower of Pisa you would have the time and the inclination.

Inferiority

An inferiority complex would be a blessing if only the right people had it. Alan Reed

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt

Insects

People who claim they don't let little things bother them have never slept in a room with a single mosquito.

Insurance

My insurance policy was like a bikini: minimum cover and maximum risk.

Intelligence

It is impossible to underrate human intelligence-beginning with one's own. Henry Adams

Intuition

Intuition is what enables a woman to put two and two together and come up with an answer that suits her. B. Johns

Intuition is what makes a woman recognize a mistake when she makes it a second time.
