By common consent of all the nations and all the ages the most valuable thing in this world is the homage of men, whether deserved or undeserved.

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.

Three rules for a career: 1) Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy yourself; 2) Don’t work for anyone you don’t respect and admire; and 3) Work only with people you enjoy.

Charlie Munger

Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize in the imagination, to raise phantoms of horror, or to beset life with supernumerary distresses.

Samuel Johnson

To err is human; to admit it, superhuman.

Doug Larson

Oprah Winfrey

I was too young that time to value her,But now I know her. If she be a traitor, Why, so am I. We still have slept together,Rose at an instant, learned, played, eat together,And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans,Still we went coupled and inseparable.

William Shakespeare

We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.

When life doesn't meet your expectations, it was important to take it with grace.

Erskine Bowles

Most of man's problems in the modern world arise from the constant and unavoidable exposure to the stimuli of urban and industrial civilization, the varied aspects of environmental pollution, the physiological disturbances associated with sudden changes in ways of life, the estrangement from the conditions and natural cycles under which human evolution took place, the emotional trauma and the paradoxical solitude in congested cities, the monotony, boredom and compulsory leisure

Ren, So Human an Animal, p. 216,

Our son is in school now. You know, he's six-and-a-half and so a big chunk of the day is taken up by school. So I'm hoping that I'll be able to certainly take him to school in the morning, maybe pick him up in the afternoon and come back to work.

Women like to sit down with trouble - as if it were knitting.
