The best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day.

The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show.

Jacob Bronowski

I was four years old, and had long since reasoned that it was folly to expect the big things from people. It was enough to get the little things. The biggest thing, of course, was love, the nearness of somebody you love when you need somebody to be near.

William Saroyan

Lou Holtz

Our words are buttressed by our deeds, and our deeds are inspired by our convictions.

Theodore Hesburgh

Jon Meacham

The simplest single-celled organism oscillates to a number of different frequencies, at the atomic, molecular, sub-cellular, and cellular levels. Microscopic movies of these organisms are striking for the ceaseless, rhythmic pulsation that is revealed. In an organism as complex as a human being, the frequencies of oscillation and the interactions between those frequencies are multitudinous.

George Leonard

We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.

Sherilyn Fenn

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Steve Wozniak

Jean Piaget

I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be the consequence, and pains to be coveted that will terminate in greater pleasures.

Michel de Montaigne

Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms

Albert Einstein

And remember that within every lie, there is a truth hidden. Know the truth to defeat the lie.
