Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I think there's a great beauty to having problems. That's one of the ways we learn.

Herbie Hancock

You'd be so nice, You'd be paradise To come home to and love.

Cole Porter

John Oxenham

A. R. Rahman

Simone Weil

Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us.

Saint Teresa of Avila

All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.

C.S. Lewis

The purpose of man is in action not thought.

Thomas Carlyle

The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few.
