We live in a generation of not being in love, and not being together. But we sure make it feel like we're together, because we're scared of seeing each other with somebody else.

Because management deals mostly with the status quo and leadership deals mostly with change, in the next century we are going to have to try to become much more skilled at creating leaders.

John P. Kotter

I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is, but let us consider the two possibilities. If you gain, you gain all if you lose you lose nothing. Hesitate not, then, to wager that He is.

Blaise Pascal

We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance.

Warren Weaver

I was excellent. Everybody loved me. I love myself, and i like bums.

Cardinal Richelieu

The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.

Omar N. Bradley

How good is it to remember one's insignificance: that of a man among billions of men, of an animal amid billions of animals; and one's abode, the earth, a little grain of sand in comparison with Sirius and others, and one's life span in comparison with billions on billions of ages. There is only one significance, you are a worker. The assignment is inscribed in your reason and heart and expressed clearly and comprehensibly by the best among the beings similar to you. The reward for doing the assignment is immediately within you. But what the significance of the assignment is or of its completion, that you are not given to know, nor do you need to know it. It is good enough as it is. What else could you desire?

Leo Tolstoy

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.

Cynthia Nelms

My faith is big enough to accept all of God's wonders.

Kirsten Miller

Children begin by loving their parents as they grow older they judge them sometimes they forgive them.

Oscar Wilde

Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

Guy Finley

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

Neil Young
