Look to the past for guidance into the future.

Robert Jacob Goodkin

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

Buddha

It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by providence as an evil to mankind.

Jonathan Swift

Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that needs thinking about.

Alexandra Ripley

Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate.

Robert G. Ingersoll

National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Pale death, with impartial step, knocks at the hut of the poor and the towers of kings.

Bob Riley

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

Michel de Montaigne

Few of the many wise apothegms which have been uttered have prevented a single foolish action.

Thomas B. Macaulay

I don't think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem.

Jonathan Safran Foer
