Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.

I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen, there's always the town gossip - 'Oh did you hear about so and so, or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.

Garrett Hedlund

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

Simone de Beauvoir

There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.

Allan Bloom

From listening comes wisdom and from speaking, repentance.

Proverb

Clever people seem not to feel the natural pleasure of bewilderment, and are always answering questions when the chief relish of a life is to go on asking them.

Frank Moore Colby

The fundamental defect with fathers is that they want their children to be a credit to them.

Bertrand Russell

If God is in a life, it doesn't have to be big to be happy and to be important in His kingdom.

Keith Miller

Don't be afraid of your dreams.

Jacques Parizeau

False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.

Charles de Montesquieu

Men act out like they're horrified by marriage, but when they find the woman of their dreams, they love it.

Rachel Hunter

Every time we've moved ahead in IBM, it was because someone was willing to take a chance, put his head on the block, and try something new.

Thomas J. Watson

It was only natural to want to destroy something you could never have.
