It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

La sua vita era ancora troppo breve, per sapere che non c'è cosa più imminente dell'impossibile, e che quanto dobbiamo sempre prevedere è l'imprevisto.

Victor Hugo

A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.

Sigmund Freud

If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love.

Nathaniel Parker Willis

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

Maria Sharapova

The fundamental source of all your errors, sophisms, and false reasonings, is a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. Were you once to become acquainted with these, you could never entertain a thought, that all men are not, by nature, entitled to a parity of privileges. You would be convinced, that natural liberty is a gift of the beneficent Creator, to the whole human race; and that civil liberty is founded in that; and cannot be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of justice. Civil liberty is only natural liberty, modified and secured by the sanctions of civil society. It is not a thing, in its own nature, precarious and dependent on human will and caprice; but it is conformable to the constitution of man, as well as necessary to the well-being of society.

Alexander Hamilton

Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

Mark Twain

Because when everyone dreams, but only a few realize their dreams, that makes cowards of us all.

Paulo Coelho

Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.

Hippocrates

Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

The whole strength of England lies in the fact that the enormous majority of the English people are snobs.

George Bernard Shaw

I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.

Imogen Cunningham

Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

Nikola Tesla
