It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

Pablo Picasso

My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool it gives me all the world, and exiles me from it.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Thou mayest as well expect to grow stronger by always eating as wiser by always reading. Too much overcharges Nature, and turns more into disease than nourishment. 'Tis thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and give health and vigor to the mind.

Richard Buckminster Fuller

The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater ;burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.

Arthur H. Stainback

The old believe everything; the middle aged suspect everything, and the young know everything.

Oscar Wilde

Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.

Nelson Algren

I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.

Diane Arbus

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

Barack Obama

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

Jack Welch

In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.

Alexis de Tocqueville

What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight, and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.

Patti Smith

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

General George Patton
