William Shakespeare

It is a truth universally acknowledged that as soon as one part of your life starts looking up, another falls to pieces.

Thomas Huxley

If the world is cold, make it your business to build fires.

Horace Traubel

I just want to show the fans my big smile and play the game that I love.

Ayelet Waldman

So, as you go into battle, remember your ancestors and remember your descendants.

Tacitus
