Those who were cowards never started, and those who were weak were lost on the way, but the brave find a home in every land.

If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.

Henry David Thoreau

Let sleep itself be an exercise in piety, for such as our life and conduct have been, so also of necessity will be our dreams.

St. Basil

Happiness is a journey, not a journey's end.

Ogwo David Emenike

[Your] dream will challenge, prod and haunt you until you surrender to its call.

Wayne Cordeiro

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.

Abraham Maslow

Macbeth: How does your patient, doctor?Doctor: Not so sick, my lord, as she is troubled with thick-coming fancies that keep her from rest.Macbeth: Cure her of that! Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon her heart.Doctor: Therein the patient must minister to himself.

William Shakespeare

Animals are considered as property only. To destroy or to abuse them, from malice to the proprietor, or with an intention injurious to his interest in them, is criminal. But the animals themselves are without protection. The law regards them not substantively. They have no RIGHTS!

Shirley Lord

Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly.

Madame Swetchine

I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry... but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.

Angelina Jolie

Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

The President is also captured in a well-worn TV news clip, making a boilerplate response to a question on terrorism and then asking the reporters to watch his drive. Well, that's what you get if you catch the President on a golf course. If Eisenhower had done this, as he often did, it would have been presented as calm statesmanship. If Clinton had done it, as he often did, it would have shown his charm.

Christopher Hitchens
