Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You'd wake up in the morning, and you'd have no idea what your day was going to be. And that's something I've never been able to shake. I loved that.

I can learn to live with guilt. I don't care about being good.

Holly Black

Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.

Paul Harvey

The kingdom of heaven in not a place but a state of mind.

John Burroughs

Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.

Friedrich Von Schlegel

Riches get their value from the mind of the possessor; they are blessings to those who know how to use them, and curses to those who do not.

Terence

George Washington

I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my powers and dominion.

Alexander the Great

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,When the funds are low and the debts are highAnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh,When care is pressing you down a bit,Rest! If you must-but never quit.Life is queer, with its twists and turns,As every one of us sometimes learns,And many a failure turns aboutWhen he might of won if he'd stuck it out;Stick to your task, though the pace seems slows-You may succeed with one more blow.Success is failure turned inside out-The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-And you may never can tell how close you are,It may be near when it seems afar;So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-It's when things seem worse that YOU MUSN'T QUIT.

Anon., You Musn't Quit

If you don't fail now and again, it's a sign you're playing it safe.

Woody Allen

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Winston Churchill

There is in God, some say, a deep but dazzling darkness.

Madeleine L'Engle

A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.
