Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.

How many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal, No

My personal theory is that he has a very firm grasp upon reality, it's simply not a reality the rest of us have ever met before.

Terry Pratchett

What pleases is what is terrible, gentle, and poetic.

Georges Franju

Abused patience turns to fury.

Thomas Fuller

I think a major act of leadership right now, call it a radical act, is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together, using our experiences.

Margaret J. Wheatley

Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work, especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time.

Harry Shum, Jr.

Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.

William M. Winans

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.

Mark Kennedy

The truth is that history constantly presents new problems in the guise of old.

William Pfaff

The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read. Not by any other person, and not even by yourself at some later date. Otherwise you begin excusing yourself. You must see the writing as emerging like a long scroll of ink from the index finger of your right hand; you must see your left hand erasing it.

Margaret Atwood

Try your ideas. You might surprise yourself.
