When I am king they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books, for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved.
Consider your breed; you were not made to live like beasts, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
Follow your own star!
There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.
This miserable state is borne by the wretched souls of those who lived without disgrace and without praise.
Nature is the art of God.
The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is.
For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?
A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence.
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from the eternal.
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
Will cannot be quenched against its will.
O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!
I wept not, so to stone within I grew.
These have not the hope to die.
In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.

A timid question will always receive a confident answer.
Lord Darling
There seems to be one quality of mind which seems to be of special and extreme advantage in leading him to make discoveries. It was the power of never letting exceptions go unnoticed.
Francis Darwin
If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.
Ram Dass
The most exquisite paradox as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.
When you are already in Detroit, you don't have to take a bus to get there.
DATO'S LAW. Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification.
Robert Dato
Common experience is the gold reserve which confers an exchange value on the currency which words are; without this reserve of shared experiences, all our pronouncements are checks drawn on insufficient funds.
Rene Daumal
Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think. This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.
It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.
Truth is one, but error proliferates. Man tracks it down and cuts it up into little pieces hoping to turn it into grains of truth. But the ultimate atom will always essentially be an error, a miscalculation.

The first involved machines which extended human muscle; the second used machines to extend the human nervous system (radio, television, telephones); the third is now utilizing machines which extend the human mind-computers. About half of all service workers (43 percent of the labor force by 2000) will be involved in collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, structuring, storing, or retrieving information... By 1995, 80 percent of all management will be knowledge workers.
Owen Davies
The pace of progress will accelerate so that even engineers and technical managers will find it necessary to recycle back through school after no more than ten years. In particular fast-moving technologies skills will become obsolete every five years or so.
Motivation is like food for the brain. You cannot get enough in one sitting. It needs continual and regular top up s.

Sir John Davies

Sammy Davis Jr.
