You may burn my body to ashes, and scatter them to the winds of heaven; you may drag my soul down to the regions of darkness and despair to be tormented forever; but you will never get me to support a measure which I believe to be wrong, although by doing so I may accomplish that which I believe to be right.

Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without for much knowledge is a curse.

Zhuangzi

What was the point of spending your life with someone you were always looking for ways to decieve?

Erica Jong

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

George Bernard Shaw

I must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe. And that way the nation is moving, and I may say that mankind progress from east to west. We go eastward to realize history and study the works of art and literature, retracing the steps of the race; we go westward as into the future, with a spirit of enterprise and adventure.

Henry David Thoreau

Stress is an important dragon to slay - or at least tame - in your life.

Marilu Henner

Whatever needs to be maintained through force is doomed.

Henry Miller

Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building -- like Tower Bridge -- or a classical front put on a steel frame -- like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living -- not something added, like sugar on a pill.

Eric Gill

Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them.

Andy Grove

When one has been threatened with a great injustice, one accepts a smaller as a favor.

Jane Welsh Carlyle

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Bob Dylan
