We don't receive wisdom we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil - which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama.

Richard P. Feynman

'Ludacris' is something that I made up. It just kind of describes me. Sometimes I have like a split personality. Sometimes I'm cool, calm, and collected, and other times I'm beyond crazy.

Ludacris

They are much to be pitied who have not been given a taste for nature early in life.

Jane Austen

To laugh often and much;<br/>to win the respect of intelligent people<br/>and the affection of children;<br/>to earn the appreciation of honest critics<br/>and endure the betrayal of false friends;<br/>to appreciate beauty;<br/>to find the best in others;<br/>to leave the world a bit better,<br/>whether by a healthy child,<br/>a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;<br/>to know even one life has breathed easier<br/>because you have lived.<br/>This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded, and some men never leave the country, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. Its very hard in military or in personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.

William Hazlitt

I don't work a five-day week as a rule, and I've managed to fill that time up. It hasn't been that hard. I volunteer at school. I'm working because I love it. Yet, I don't not envy women who have a stay-at-home job, because you miss stuff.

Deidre Hall

Wherever there is a human being there is an opportunity for kindness

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, the dream is true!

Edwin Markham

Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.

A. R. Ammons

There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or save us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow- that, in short, we are all going.

John Green

It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.

Simone Weil
