The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

Every seed is awakened, and all animal life.

Sitting Bull

A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.

Oliver Herford

I'm an unemployed teacher right now and I'm looking for a place to teach.

Bobby Knight

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God.

Saint Patrick

A scientist, an artist, a citizen is not like a child who needs papa methodology and mama rationality to give him security and direction; he can take care of himself, for he is the inventor not only of laws, theories, pictures, plays, forms of music, ways of dealing with his fellow man, institutions but also of entire world views, he is the inventor of entire forms of life.

Paul Karl Feyerabend

Every civilization when it loses its inner vision and its cleaner energy, falls into a new sort of sordidness, more vast and more stupendous than the old savage sort. An Augean stable of metallic filth.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Those who suffer are not those at the top, but are the less privileged members of society.

Bianca Jagger

The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run.

Hank Aaron

I sure love Ireland. The first trip I ever made was last year when I did this record in Dublin.

Michael W. Smith

By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.

Robert Frost

If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

Orison Swett Marden

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

C.S. Lewis
