I long for the solitude of a sunset at sea,and the chill of the breezecoming in with the eve.For the motion of my boat,as she swings on her rode,and the beauty of the stars,in the evenings last glow.

A patronizing disposition always has its meaner side.

George Eliot, Adam Bede

You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on -- into the dustbin of history!

Leon Trotsky

He who knows all the answers has not yet been asked all the questions.

And if one loves me for my judgement, memory, he does not love , for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this Ego, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul? And how love the body or the soul, except for these qualities which do not constitute , since they are perishable? For it is impossible and would be unjust to love the soul of a person in the abstract and whatever qualities might be therein. We never, then, love a person, but only qualities. Let us, then, jeer no more at those who are honoured on account of rank and office; for we love a person only on account of borrowed qualities.

Blaise Pascal

It is rare indeed that there is not ample occasion for grumbling.

John Wagstaff

A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.

Ann Bancroft

Pick a sunset, and we'll ride off into it together.

Timothy M. Brenner

As a species we are always hungry for new knowledge.

Chaim Potok

What we anticipate seldom occurs, what we least expected generally happens.

Benjamin Disraeli

Progress just means bad things happen faster.

Terry Pratchett

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

Frederick Douglass

The path of least resistance makes all rivers, and some men, crooked.

Napoleon Hill
