Fear nothing but what thy industry may prevent; be confident of nothing but what fortune cannot defeat; it is no less folly to fear what is impossible to be avoided than to be secure when there is a possibility to be deprived.

No one is worthy of a good home here or in heaven that is not willing to be in peril for a good cause.

John Mason Brown

Life is a spell so exquisite that everything conspires to break it

Emily Dickinson

Cosmic Ordering will never forsake you.

Stephen Richards

Major sports are major parts of society. It's not anomalous to have people who love sports come from other parts of that society.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

I'm really thankful and complimented when people come to me and say, thank you for the great times for all these years. But I don't think about it as being a leader.

Bill Kreutzmann

Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.

Kahlil Gibran

You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

Paulo Coelho

There is on the earth no institution which Friendship has established; it is not taught by any religion; no scripture contains its maxims. It has no temple nor even a solitary column...However, out fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it. We are inclined to lay the chief stress on likeness and not on difference, and in foreign bodies we admit that there are many degrees of warmth below blood heat, but none of cold above it.

Henry David Thoreau

There are no greater wretches in the world than many of those whom people in general take to be happy.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

As the first Hispanic female governor in history, little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. They look and point, and when they get the courage, they ask 'Are you Susana?' and they run up and give me a hug.

Susana Martinez

The body is most fully developed [at] from thirty to thirty-five years of age, the mind at about forty-nine.

Aristotle

It is only too clear that man is not at home in this universe, and yet he is not good enough to deserve a better.

Perry Miller
