Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.

Greg Anderson

Beneath the rule of men entirely great,The pen is mightier than the sword.

Edward George BulwerLytton, Rich

The philosopher is like a man fasting in the midst of universal intoxication. He alone perceives the illusion of which all creatures are the willing playthings; he is less duped than his neighbor by his own nature. He judges more sanely, he sees things as they are. It is in this that his liberty consists -- in the ability to see clearly and soberly, in the power of mental record.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world. Yet from this lesson thou will learn to avoid the frog's foolish ambition of swelling to rival the bigness of the ox.

Miguel de Cervantes

Those who love deeply never grow old they may die of old age, but they die young.

Dorothy Canfield Fisher

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

Charles Spurgeon

I think she definitely has. I think, um, her and Mulder's relationship has become more equal. And, I think she has become stronger and more independent over the seasons.

Gillian Anderson

The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.

G. K. Chesterton

The monk in hiding himself from the world becomes not less than himself, not less of a person, but more of a person, more truly and perfectly himself: for his personality and individuality are perfected in their true order, the spiritual, interior order.

Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey

Thence results, for science as well as for industry, the necessity of the division and association of labor. I receive and I give - such is human life. Each directs and is directed in his turn.

Mikhail Bakunin

All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.

David Herbert Lawrence

The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor, I'm just gonna tell her, 'Be a staff writer for a sitcom. Because they'll have to hire you, they can't really fire you, and you don't have to produce that much. It'll be awesome.'
