My only hope lies in my despair.

People do not mind their faults being spread out before them, but they become impatient if called on to give them up.

Johann von Goethe

It is better to live rich, than to die rich.

Samuel Johnson

Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.

Samuel Johnson

It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.

Aeschylus

When a father gives to his son, both laugh when a son gives to his father, both cry.

William Shakespeare

Who goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing.

Proverb

It's a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.

Steve Maraboli

Many a man will have the courage to die gallantly, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one.

Bertrand Russell

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Socrates

I am delighted to have you play football. I believe in rough, manly sports. But I do not believe in them if they degenerate into the sole end of any one's existence. I don't want you to sacrifice standing well in your studies to any over-athleticism; and I need not tell you that character counts for a great deal more than either intellect or body in winning success in life. Athletic proficiency is a mighty good servant, and like so many other good servants, a mighty bad master.http://www.barnard.edu/amstud/resources/strenuous/trletter.htm

Theodore Roosevelt, from a lette

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

Confucius

Life teaches us to be less harsh with ourselves and with others.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
