Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

One half of my life has put the other half in the grave.

Franz Kafka

That is what war is and dancing it is forward and back, when one is out walking one wants not to go back the way they came but in dancing and in war it is forward and back.

Gertrude Stein

An Idea is nothing but Information, It won't do us any harm until we accept it as perception of truth in our mind, which in time will potentially evolve and construct major events in history.

Djayawarman Alamprabu

Leadership demands that we make tough choices.

Alan Autry

We seldom report of having eaten too little.

Thomas Jefferson

I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.

Albert Camus

A strange thing has happened -- while all the other arts were born naked, this, the youngest, has been born fully-clothed. It can say everything before it has anything to say. It is as if the savage tribe, instead of finding two bars of iron to play with, had found scattering the seashore fiddles, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, grand pianos by Erhard and Bechstein, and had begun with incredible energy, but without knowing a note of music, to hammer and thump upon them all at the same time.

Virginia Woolf

To win you have to risk loss.

Jean Claude Killy

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson

There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.

Jane Austen

There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory.. For without that you cannot be born again.

George Bernard Shaw
