When fleeing the scene of temptation, do not leave a forwarding address.

Jeffrey R. Holland

Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight. Stay here at the flame's core.

Rumi

There is no self. There is nobody home. No forwarding address, no zip code. Address unknown.

Frederick Lenz

I'm guilty of being fascinated by gadgets and toys and technology, but any penny that I spend, I try to make it be a part of what I do for a living. Because then you are forwarding. You are forwarding that art, forwarding that career ahead.

Jeff Dunham

We must pass like smoke or live within the spirit's fire; For we can no more than smoke unto the flame return If our thought has changed to dream, our will unto desire, As smoke we vanish though the fire may burn.

George William Russell

Three of the four elements are shared by all creatures, but fire was a gift to humans alone. Smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immediate excruciation. Every smoker is an embodiment of Prometheus, stealing fire from the gods and bringing it on back home. We smoke to capture the power of the sun, to pacify Hell, to identify with the primordial spark, to feed on the marrow of the volcano. It’s not the tobacco we’re after but the fire. When we smoke, we are performing a version of the fire dance, a ritual as ancient as lightning.

Tom Robbins

Before I became famous I used to think there's no smoke without fire. But believe me, there can be a fire without smoke.

Victoria Beckham

Warning signs that lover is bored: 1. Passionless kisses 2. Frequent sighing 3. Moved, left no forwarding address.

Matt Groening

Youth moves out, leaving no forwarding address. No matter how you try, you can't reach that person again or that place.

Rita Mae Brown

Surely where there's smoke there's fire? No, where there's so much smoke there's smoke.

John Archibald Wheeler

If you prefer smoke over fire then get up now and leave. For I do not intend to perfume your mind's clothing with more sooty knowledge.

Adyashanti

We all fly. Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.

Michael Jordan

The suffering man ought really to consume his own smoke; there is no good in emitting smoke till you have made it into fire.

Thomas Carlyle

I'm not a malicious person. When you get past the tattoos and leather, I give people a fair shake. There are periods when I've sowed some wild oats, no doubt about it. And I can party with some of the heavyweights. There are some stories about me that, yeah, where there's smoke there's fire. But sometimes the smoke is just smoke.
