The intellect of man is forced to choose perfection of the life, or of the work, and if it take the second must refuse a heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.

Women should be permitted to volunteer for non-combat service, they should not be accepted, voluntarily or through the draft, as combat soldiers. We know of no comparable ways of training women and girls, and we have no real way of knowing whether the kinds of training that teach men both courage and restraint would be adaptable to women or effective in a crisis. But the evidence of history and comparative studies of other species suggest that women as a fighting body might be far less amenable to the rules that prevent warfare from becoming a massacre and, with the use of modern weapons, that protect the survival of all humanity. This is what I meant by saying that women in combat might be too fierce.

Margaret Mead

So obscure are the greatest events, as some take for granted any hearsay, whatever its source, others turn truth into falsehood, and both errors find encouragement with posterity.

Tacitus

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

Andrew Carnegie

Music is what I breath, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.

Miley Cyrus

It is not possible to design always the same. How to be different in each different place - that is the most important work and duty of the architect to find out.

Jean Nouvel

It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

To accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete.

Epictetus

Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.

Seneca

She was so fat that her belly button makes an echo.

Rodney Dangerfield

In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.

Marshall McLuhan

Under capitalism, man exploits man; while under socialism just the reverse is true.

John Kenneth Galbraith

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

Earl Nightingale
