Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.

Success follows doing what you want to do. There is no other way to be successful.

Malcolm Stevenson Forbes

Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.

Henry David Thoreau

I'm not crying because of you; you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.

Steve Maraboli

No pleasure has any savor for me without communication.

Michel de Montaigne

More than illness or death, the American journalist fears standing alone against the whim of his owners or the prejudices of his audience. Deprive William Safire of the insignia of the New York Times, and he would have a hard time selling his truths to a weekly broadsheet in suburban Duluth.

Lewis H. Lapham

May I have a few friends and many books - both true.

A. Cowley

Confusing monogamy with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other error.

George Bernard Shaw

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

Casey (Charles Dillon) Stengel

I mean Buckingham Palace has never hired a professional public relations outfit let alone a Madison Avenue type and they would throw up their hands in horror at the very idea.

Anthony Holden

What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?

Henry Miller

Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs, he is truly magnificent but those organs have not grown on him and they still give him much trouble at times.

Sigmund Freud

Tell me doctor, with all of your defenses, are there any provisions for an attack by killer bees?
