I might have been born in a hovel but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars.
Jacqueline Cochran
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Kahlil Gibran

You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.
Alan Watts
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Homo homini monstrum
Victor Hugo
I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement.
Charles Schwab
Today we're focused on small acquisitions to add technology where necessary. I think it's fair to say we're not out looking for a large one, but I think it's also very fair to say that as a public company you can never say never.
Sanjay Kumar
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
She had had her momentary flowering, a year, perhaps, of wildrose beauty, and then she had suddenly swollen like a fertilized fruit and grown hard and red and coarse, and then her life had been laundering, scrubbing, laundering, first for children, then for grandchildren, over thirty years. At the end of it she was still singing.
George Orwell

H. Rap Brown
Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.
William Ellery Channing
A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
A man growing old becomes a child again.
Sophocles
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Story is honorable and trustworthy; plot is shifty, and best kept under house arrest.
Stephen King
This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.
Kevin Kelly
It is not always by plugging away at a difficulty and sticking to it that one overcomes it; often it is by working on the one next to it. Some things and some people have to be approached obliquely, at an angle.
The most decisive actions of our life -- I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future -- are, more often than not, unconsidered.
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
Power is not something that can be assumed or discarded at will like underwear.
John Kenneth Galbraith

Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.
Jonathan Swift
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul.
Someone out there was about to find that their worst nightmare was a maddened Librarian. With a badge.
Terry Pratchett
We are what make up society.
Tom Shadyac
But now I see I was not plucked for naught, And after in life's vase Of glass set while I might survive, But by a kind hand brought Alive To a strange place.
Henry David Thoreau
I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing, an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature, both animals and plants, the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself, you don't have to think about it.
Clyde Tombaugh
Nothing is more fatal to health than an over care of it.
Benjamin Franklin
