Civilization is the order and freedom is promoting cultural activity.

Will Durant

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

Thurgood Marshall

George Bernard Shaw

A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of.

Ogden Nash

John Jacob Astor

At the end of the day, you are in control of your own happiness. Life is going to happen whether you overthink it, overstress it or not. Just experience life and be happy along the way. You can't control everything in your life, but you can control your happiness.

Holly Holm

In order to win, you must expect to win.

Richard Bach
