Life has been very hard on me, but, at the same time, it has taught me a great deal.

Life is but a day:A fragile dewdrop on its perilious wayFrom a tree's summit

John Keats

Progress is the life-style of man. The general life of the human race is called Progress, and so is its collective march. Progress advances, it makes the great human and earthly journey towards what is heavenly and divine; it has its pauses, when it rallies the stragglers, its stopping places when it meditates, contemplating some new and splendid promised land that has suddenly appeared on its horizon. It has its nights of slumber; and it is one of the poignant anxieties of the thinker to see the human spirit lost in shadow, and to grope in the darkness without being able to awake sleeping progress.

Victor Hugo

The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.

Arthur Koestler

Actually, I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.

Chris Klein

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until eventually he knows everything about nothing.

Anon.

After all, God is God because he remembers.

Elie Wiesel

True education makes for inequality; the inequality of individuality, the inequality of success, the glorious inequality of talent, of genius; for inequality, not mediocrity, individual superiority, not standardization, is the measure of the progress of the world.

Felix E. Schelling

As much as we all talk about the future and how so many things are merging, there is a simplicity that is crucial.

Ryan Seacrest

There is no such thing as a nonpolitical speech by a politician.

Richard Milhous Nixon

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Winston Churchill

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right?

Katherine Heigl

Through learning to listen to our own intuition, it develops to a constantly available inner source of love, truth and wisdom. We can close our eyes, go within, and always receive the right guidance.
