Thomas Mann

It is easy to go down into Hell night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.

Virgil

The most silent people are generally those who think most highly of themselves.

William Hazlitt

I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, Well! give me peace in my day. Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.

Thomas Paine, The American Crisi

Luck is not chance, it is toil. Fortune is expensive smile is earned.

Emily Dickinson

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

David Russell

The studious class are their own victims: they are thin and pale, their feet are cold, their heads are hot, the night is without sleep, the day a fear of interruption --pallor, squalor, hunger, and egotism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The while we keep a man waiting, he reflects on our shortcomings.
