Winning tastes good.

Bertrand Russell

The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory.

Blaise Pascal

The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.

Henry Beston

What men usually ask for when they pray to God is, that two and two may not make four.

Proverb

To be come fully alive a person must have goals and aims that transcend himself.

Herbert A. Otto
