Robertson Davies

A well-aimed spear is worth three.

Tad Williams

It takes people a while to trust you.

Karl Malone

There is something in the misfortune of our best friends which does not displease us.

Proverb

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

G. K. Chesterton

Doing for people what they can and ought to do for themselves is a dangerous experiment. In the last analysis the welfare of the workers depends upon their own initiative. Whatever is done under the guise of philanthropy or social morality which in any way lessens initiative is the greatest crime that can be committed against the toilers. Let social busy-bodies and professional public morals experts in their fads reflect upon the perils they rashly invite under this pretense of social welfare.

Samuel Gompers

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.

Larry Bird

It will be readily admitted, that a degree conferred by an university, ought to be a pledge to the public that he who holds it possesses a certain quantity of knowledge.

Charles Babbage

I am often the brunt of my own humor.

Charles R. Swindoll

When women are at the height of their beauty power and exercise it, we call it marriage. When men are at the height of their success power and exercise it, we call it a mid-life crisis.

Warren Farrell

Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions...

Kenneth Hildebrand

Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly, even if they roll a few stones upon it.

Albert Schweitzer
