The light of the stars that were extinguished ages ago still reaches us. So is it with great men who died centuries ago, but still reach us with the radiations of their personality.

I have made decisions that turned out to be wrong, and went back and did it another way, and still took less time than many who procrastinated over the original decision. Your brain is capable of handling 140, 000 million bits of information in one second, and if you take hours or days or weeks to reach a vital decision, you are short-circuiting your most valuable property.

Jerry Gillies

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's scepter, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

In a strong relationship, you should love your companion more than you need them.

Steve Maraboli

What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.

Plautus

Nagarjuna

The only virtue a character needs to possess between hardcovers, even if he bears a real person's name, is vitality: if he comes to life in our imaginations, he passes the test.

Stephen Vizinczey

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Socrates

Shirley Chisholm

His jest shall savour but a shallow wit, when thousands more weep than did laugh it.

William Shakespeare

If God had wanted man to play soccer, he wouldn't have given us arms.

Mike Ditka

Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all. Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.
