Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.

Man?s power of choice enables him to think like an angel or a devil, a king or a slave. Whatever he chooses, mind will create and manifest.

Frederick Bailes

Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.

Anthony Robbins

Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.

Leo Tolstoy

George Bernard Shaw

A mind enclosed in language is in prison.

Simone Weil, Human Personality 1

Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! a message to us from the dead -- from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.

Charles Kingsley

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Victor Hugo
