No sanction can stand against ignited minds.
To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others
Albert Camus
You enjoy it more if you can laugh at it.
Source Unknown
You can judge a man by what he laughs at.
When you laugh, be sure to laugh at what people do and not at what people are.
Such a number of nights,' said the girl, with a touch of woman's tenderness, which communicated something like sweetness of tone, even to her voice; 'such a number of nights as I've been patient with you, nursing and caring for you, as if you had been a child: and this the first that I've seen you like yourself; you wouldn't have served me as you did just now, if you'd thought of that, would you? Come, come; say you wouldn't.
Charles Dickens
The shortest distance between two people is laughter.
It is easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.
If you can laugh at it then you can live with it
A leader has been defined as one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
The well being of the people is the supreme law.
The best leader is the one who has the sense to surround himself with outstanding people and self-restraint not to meddle with how they do their jobs.
Successful leaders have the courage to take action where others hesitate.
Man sollte alle Tage wenigstens ein kleines Lied hören, ein gutes Gedicht lesen, ein treffliches Gemälde sehen und, wenn es möglich zu machen wäre, einige vernünftige Worte sprechen.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher --a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.
I say this as a Democrat, for whom the Republican domination of government threatens many values that I hold to be important to America's role as a light among nations. But there are no values that matter to me that will not be gravely endangered if we lose this war.
Orson Scott Card
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers -- not their minds.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going
A homeless guy came up to me on the street, said he hadn't eaten in four days. I told him, Man, I wish I had your willpower.
Rodney Dangerfield
Leadership has to do with direction. Management has to do with the speed, coordination and logistics in going in that direction. The WORKERS are chopping their way through the jungle. The MANAGERS are coordinating, making sure the tools are sharp, etc. The LEADERS climb a tree and shout Wrong jungle!! The MANAGERS shout back Be quiet! We're making progress!
You always knew after shitty things happened, who your friends really were.
Jodi Picoult
Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!
Martin Luther King Jr.
Mathematics are well and good but nature keeps dragging us around by the nose.
Albert Einstein
The distinctions separating the social classes are false; in the last analysis they rest on force.
One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.
On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.
The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
Plato
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.
Monsieur Bienvenu was simply a man who accepted these mysterious questions...and who had in his soul a deep respect for the mystery which enveloped them.
Victor Hugo
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
The ideas that have lighted my way and, time after time, have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.
The legs are the wheels of creativity.
Having money is a way of being free of money.
It is not enough that you should understand about applied science in order that your work may increase mans blessings. Concern for the man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors; concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
If a due participation of office is a matter of right, how are vacancies to be obtained? Those by death are few; by resignation, none.
Thomas Jefferson
Jace said that the cast of Gilligan's Island could do something anatomically unlikely with themselves.
Cassandra Clare
Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future. Certain aspects of the situation seem to call for watchfulness and, if necessary, quick action on the part of the Administration. This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivablethough much less certainthat extremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by boat or exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory. However, such bombs might very well prove to be too heavy for transportation by air.
Reason enslaves all whose minds are not strong enough to master her.
George Bernard Shaw
I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am.
Dwight D Eisenhower
The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!
