Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.

The one who will be found in trial capable of great acts of love is ever the one who is always doing considerate small ones.

Frederick William Robertson

Bertrand Russell

A man carries his success or his failure with him, it does not depend on outside conditions.

Ralph Waldo Trine

Mahatma Gandhi

Falsity cannot keep an idea from being beautiful; there are certain errors of such ingenuity that one could regret their not ranking among the achievements of the human mind.

Jean Rostand

The truth, I am convinced, is that there is no longer a poetical audience among the higher class of minds, that moral, political, and physical science have entirely withdrawn from poetry the attention of all whose attention is worth having; and that the poetical reading public being composed of the mere dregs of the intellectual community, the most sufficing passport to their favour must rest on the mixture of a little easily-intelligible portion of mawkish sentiment with an absolute negation of reason and knowledge.

Thomas Love Peacock, letter to S

The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it.

Steve Jobs

Expectation is the mother of all frustration.

Antonio Banderas
