Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful.
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
He listens well who takes notes.
Dante Alighieri
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
James Russell Lowell
The shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yogurt.
Sir John Mortimer
America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.
Frederick Douglass
But the more we search the Scriptures, the more we perceive, in this doctrine, the fundamental truth of the gospel - that truth which gives to redemption its character, and to all other truths their real power.
John Nelson Darby
The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
Chuck Jones
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Sam Walton

Jeff Bezos
As a speaker, business leader or marketer of any type, the onus is now on each of us to become equally capable of communicating very personally with a seemingly endless number of people connected by social technologies.
Simon Mainwaring
Miracles are (in late documents, I believe) recorded of the Buddha. But what could be more absurd than that he who came to teach us that Nature is an illusion from which we must escape should occupy himself in producing effects on the Natural level-that he who comes to wake us from the nightmare should add to the nightmare? The more we respect his teaching the less we could accept his miracles.
C.S. Lewis
And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in all the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
John Steinbeck, East of Eden
