The actions you take today can propel you into a better position tomorrow.

Perfectionism means that you try not to leave so much mess to clean up. But clutter and mess show us that life is being lived.

Anne Lamott

For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love.

John Donne

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Barack Obama

What's the point in being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.

John Green

So you set out to travel to Rome... and end up in Istanbul. You set off for Japan... and you end up on a train across Siberia. The journey, not the destination, becomes a source of wonder.

Loreena McKennitt

It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.

Joseph Joubert

If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it?

Ian Botham

Support by United States rulers is rather in the nature of the support that the rope gives to a hanged man.

Nikita Khrushchev

I'll take fifty percent efficiency to get one hundred percent loyalty.

Samuel Goldwyn

In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.

Henry David Thoreau

There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime namely, repressive justice.

Simone Weil

Man makes history; woman is history. The reproduction of the species is feminine: it runs steadily and quietly through all species, animal or human, through all short-lived cultures. It is primary, unchanging, everlasting, maternal, plantlike, and cultureless. If we look back we find that it is synonymous with life itself.

Oswald Spengler
