When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck.

E. W. Howe

John W. Mackay

Perhaps I am stronger than I think.

Thomas Merton

Happiness is a mystery, like religion, and should never be rationalized.

'Tis chastity, my brother, chastity. She that has that is clad in complete steel, and like a quivered nymph with arrows keen may trace huge forests and unharbored heaths, infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds, where through the sacred rays of chastity, no savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer will dare to soil her virgin purity.

John Milton

You know my dad pushed me to believe that I was going to be the best. I just never thought of life without tennis, even looking forward.

Andre Agassi

All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

William Henry Harrison
