Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.

There are certain books in the world which every searcher for truth must know: the Bible, the Critique of Pure Reason, the Origin of Species, and Karl Marx's Capital.

W. E. B. Du Bois

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Soren Kierkegaard

You're life is a print-out of your thoughts.

Steve Maraboli

Your life is what your thoughts make it.

Marcus Aurelius

All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organization. For the latter makes use of violence, the former -- of the corruption of the will.

Alexander Herzen

Good questions outrank easy answers.

Paul A. Samuelson

Corporations are social organizations, the theater in which men and women realize or fail to realize purposeful and productive lives.

Peter Rena

Whatever you value, be committed to it and let nothing distract you from this goal. The uncommitted life, like Plato’s unexamined life, is not worth living.

Theodore Hesburgh

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

H. P. Lovecraft

There is the fear that we shan't prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man --fear that men won't understand us and we shall be cut of from them.

Robert Frost

No voice teacher can be all things to all people. You have to gain information from whatever sources you can. You have to listen.

Renee Fleming

And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers. There are heroes in the seaweed, There are children in the morning, They are leaning out for love, And they will lean that way forever, While Suzanne holds the mirror.

Leonard Cohen
