I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.
Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.
William Hazlitt
The only vice which cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.
A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could.

Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there
Antoine De SaintExupery, Flight
Anarchism asserts the possibility of an organization without discipline, fear, or punishment, and without the pressure of poverty: a new social organism which will make an end to the terrible struggle for the means of existence, --the savage struggle which undermines the finest qualities in man, and ever widens the social abyss. In short, Anarchism strives towards a social organization which will establish well-being for all.
Emma Goldman
Ever reviled, accursed, ne'er understood,Thou art the grisly terror of our age.Wreck of all order, cry the multitude,Art thou, and war and murder's endless rage.O, let them cry. To them that ne'er have strivenThe truth that lies behind a word to find,To them the word's right meaning was not given.They shall continue blind among the blind.But thou, O word, so clear, so strong, so pure,Thou sayest all which I for goal have taken.I give thee to the future! Thine secureWhen each at least unto himself shall waken.Comes it in sunshine? In the tempest's thrill?I cannot tell--but it the earth shall see!I am an Anarchist! Wherefore I willNot rule, and also ruled I will not be!
John Henry Mackay, Anarchy
Indeed, the keynote of government is injustice. With the arrogance and self-sufficiency of the King who could do no wrong, governments ordain, judge, condemn, and punish the most insignificant offenses, while maintaining themselves by the greatest of all offenses, the annihilation of individual liberty.
Emma Goldman, Anarchism: What It
Wherever there is degeneration and apathy, there also is sexual perversion, cold depravity, miscarriage, premature old age, grumbling youth, there is a decline in the arts, indifference to science, and injustice in all its forms.
Anton Chekhov, Letter, to his ed
Come to the edge.We might fall.Come to the edge.It's too high!COME TO THE EDGE!And they cameand he pushedand they flew...

In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.
Peter McWilliams
As much as we like to think that we are independent-minded, free-willed, autonomous individuals, the fact remains that some part of us is still susceptible to programming.Programming can happen to anyone. Intelligence, education, common sense, belief, or convictions offer little protection. All it takes is repetition (the slow route) or vulnerability (the fast route) and, eventually, we're hooked. Master programmers - from cult leaders to cigarette companies to government agencies - do both, as often as possible, whether you like it or not.Ironically, the more immune to programming you think you are, the more susceptible you become.

To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.
Peter McWilliams, Life 101
The lessons of history? There are four: The bee fertilizes the flower it robs; whom the gods would destroy they first make mad with power; the mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small; when it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Charles Austin Beard
I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts--spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back -- length of life.
Rose Kennedy
Two halves have little choice but to join;And yes, they do make a wholebut two wholes when they coincide...That is beauty.That is love.

Opusculum paedagogicumThe pears are not viols,Nudes or bottles.They resemble nothing else.They are yellow formsComposed of curvesBulging toward the base.They are touched red.They are not flat surfacesHaving curved outlines.They are roundTapering toward the top.In the way they are modelledThere are bits of blue.A hard dry leaf hangsFrom the stem.The yellow glistens.It glistens with various yellows,Citrons, oranges and greensFlowering over the skin.The shadows of the pearsAre blobs on the green cloth.The pears are not seenAs the observer wills.

The road to positivity is strewn with the abandoned vehicles of the faint-hearted.
What is more cheerful, now, in the fall of the year, than an open-wood-fire? Do you hear those little chirps and twitters coming out of that piece of apple-wood? Those are the ghosts of the robins and blue-birds that sang upon the bough when it was in blossom last Spring. In Summer whole flocks of them come fluttering about the fruit-trees under the window: so I have singing birds all the year round.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Miss Mehi
A late lark twitters from the quiet skies:And from the west,Where the sun, his day's work ended,Lingers as in content,There falls on the old, gray cityAn influence luminous and serene,A shining peace.

Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.
Success is dependent upon the glands -- sweat glands.
You can have anything in the world you want if you?ll just help enough other people get what they want.
You don't pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success.
Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting -- in the trying, not the triumph, Success is a personal standard -- reaching for the highest that is in us -- becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
The way you see people is the way you treat them.
Winning is not everything, but the effort to win is.
You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Every choice you make has an end result.
You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.
Are you a SNIOP? Someone who is Sensitive to the Negative Influence Of Others?
There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.
Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.
The Chinese pianist Liu Chi Kung was imprisoned for seven years during the Cultural Revolution, during which time he had no access to a piano. When he returned to giving concerts again after he was released, his playing was better than ever. Asked how this was possible since he had not practice for seven years, he replied: I did practice, every day. I rehearsed every piece I had ever played, note by note, in my mind.
