Most maxim-mongers have preferred the prettiness to the justness of a thought, and the turn to the truth; but I have refused myself to everything that my own experience did not justify and confirm.

The youth is the hope of our future.

Jose Rizal

The most precious gift that marriage gave me was the constant impact of something very close and intimate, yet all the time unmistakably other, resistant - in a word, real.

C.S. Lewis

There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor; the unconquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.

Orison Swett Marden

A lot of guys go, 'Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.' I tell 'em, 'I don't know any.' They want me to make one up. I don't make 'em up. I don't even know when I say it. They're the truth. And it is the truth. I don't know.

Yogi Berra

I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.

Khalil Gibran

The most important experiences a man can have are those that take him to the very limit; that is the only way we learn, because it requires all our courage.

Paulo Coelho

There is an urgent need -- in fact a national survival need -- for invigorating intellectual life, for upgrading the general regard for intellectual excellence. The United States must experience an intellectual renaissance or it will experience defeat. The time cannot be far off -- if indeed it is not already here -- when the strength of a nation, measured in terms of any kind of world competition, will depend less on the number of its bombs than on the number of its learned men.

Elmo Roper

I'm not afraid to call a wine that tastes like Skittles or green peppers mixed with orange marmalade. I'll say, 'It tastes like chicken.' I mean, that's not what people think of when they think of wine, but that's what it tastes like to me and it hits home.

Gary Vaynerchuk

Why shoudn't truth be stranger than fiction Fiction, after all, has to stick to the possibilities.

Mark Twain

is the tomb of love.

Giacomo Casanova

The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you're always asked to do what you've already done.

Jeremy Irons

I don't fit into any stereotypes. And I like myself that way.
