Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.

Margaret Drabble

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

Booker T. Washington

The highest form of pure thought is in mathematics

Plato

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.<br/>Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.<br/>Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.<br/>Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.<br/>Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.<br/>Elves are terrific. They beget terror.<br/>The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.<br/>No one ever said elves are nice.<br/>Elves are bad.

Terry Pratchett

Billy Graham

There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace?

Peace Pilgrim

Be virtuous and you will be eccentric.

Mark Twain

Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
