I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.

Simone Weil

The man who finds that in the course of his life he has done a lot of wrong often wakes up at night in terror, like a child with a nightmare, and his life is full of foreboding: but the man who is conscious of no wrongdoing is filled with cheerfulness and with the comfort of old age.

Plato

John Green

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

Leo Buscaglia

He that can work is born to be king of something.

Thomas Carlyle

Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
