Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.

You should never have to say hello or goodbye. Even at work sometimes, and I know this is very unpopular, is that if I'm going to work every single day, I don't think you should have to hug people hello every single day when you come to work. I saw you Monday!

Mindy Kaling

Oftentimes we call Life bitter names, but only when we ourselves are bitter and dark. And we deem her empty and unprofitable, but only when the soul goes wandering in desolate places, and the heart is drunken with overmindfulness of self.Life is deep and high and distant; and though only your vast vision can reach even her feet, yet she is near; and though only the breath of your breath reaches her heart, the shadow of your shadow crosses her face, and the echo of your faintest cry becomes a spring and an autumn in her breast.And life is veiled and hidden, even as your greater self is hidden and veiled. Yet when Life speaks, all the winds become words; and when she speaks again, the smiles upon your lips and the tears in your eyes turn also into words. When she sings, the deaf hear and are held; and when she comes walking, the sightless behold her and are amazed and follow her in wonder and astonishment.

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service

Steve Jobs

Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add.

Nelson Goodman

They're babes in the woods. I think I can help turn Alvy and Ed into businessmen.

Steve Jobs

Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.

Francis Quarles

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

Will Durant

It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.

Will Rogers

Pedantry is the showy display of knowledge which crams our heads with learned lumber and then takes out our brains to make room for it.

Charles Caleb Colton

Being popular comes when you have everything. But to be liked, it means that you must be treating people with respect and you must be showing kindness toward them.
