I had a great interest in sports. I had three older brothers who were great athletes. I was not.

Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.

Marcus Valerius Martial

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.

George Bernard Shaw

My non-violence bids me dedicate myself to the service of the minorities.

Mahatma Gandhi, 1947

As long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it into existence or clearing the way for it.

George Bernard Shaw

What is it the I'll want from you? Not love: that would be too much to ask. Not forgiveness, which isn't yours to bestow. Only a listener, perhaps; only someone who will see me. Don't prettify me though, whatever else you do: I have no wish to be a decorated skull. But I leave myself in your hands. What choice do I have? By the time you read this last page, that- if anywhere- is the only place I will be.

Margaret Atwood

Power is always dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best.

Edward Abbey

We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.

Robert Johnson

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

Mahatma Gandhi

The powerful play goes on -- and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

John Grisham

There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.

Oscar Wilde
