Remember, when the judgment's weak, the prejudice is strong.

K. O'Hara

If there were a sympathy in choice,War, death, or sickness, did lay siege to it,Making it momentary as a sound,Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,Brief as the lightning in the collied nightThat, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth,And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!'The jaws of darkness do devour it up;So quick bright things come to confusion.

William Shakespeare

Jenson Button

Pick a flower on Earth and you move the farthest star.

Paul Dirac

Everywhere in life the true question is, not what we have gained, but what we do.
