Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress, and nothing is impossible.

The computer is your passport, not only to the future but to knowing what's going around you.

Michael Nutter

The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned, cannot be out-generalled, but put him where you will, he stands. This can only be by his preferring truth to his past apprehension of truth; and his alert acceptance of it, from whatever quarter; the intrepid conviction that his laws, his relations to society, his Christianity, his world may at any time be superseded and decease.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Had they not been taken, she asked, to circuses when they were children? Never, he answered, as if she asked the very thing he wanted; had been longing all these days to say, how they did not go to circuses.

Virginia Woolf

Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us;The beggar is taxed for a corner to die in,The priest hath his fee who comes and shrives us,We bargain for the graves we lie in;At the Devils booth are all things sold,Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold;For a cap and bells our lives we pay,Bubbles we buy with a whole souls tasking:T'is heaven alone that is given away,T'is only God may be had for the asking;No price is set on the lavish summer;June may be had by the poorest comer.And what is so rare as a day in June?Then, if ever, come perfect days;Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune,And over it softly her warm ear lays:Whether we look, or whether we listen,We hear life murmur, or see it glisten.

James Russell Lowell

There are many of our so-called captains on industry who, if the truth were told, and a shorter and uglier word were not unpermissible, are little better than malefactors of great wealth.

James Branch Cabell

Ulysses was an elaborate prank, and our supposed intellectual elite continue to fall for it.

Orson Scott Card

Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God.

Source Unknown

Before you decide if someone is beautiful close your eyes and listen.

Evette Carter

Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The architecture of our future is not only unfinished the scaffolding has hardly gone up.

George Lamming

I gave up a lot of things in exchange for my success.
