Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

Sovereignty over any foreign land is insecure.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now.

Woodrow Wilson

When you get to fifty-two food becomes more important than sex.

Tom Lehrer

I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore.

Steve Jobs

From this experience we have learned that in a big party it is important to have the necessary and often controversial discussions on policy issues such as the health system while in opposition.

Angela Merkel

One of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing surprises us in it. With no regret, we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends.

Jean Cocteau

It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.

Oscar Wilde

Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has inspired the movement of change.

Steve Maraboli

In our daily life, we encounter people who are angry, deceitful, intent only on satisfying their own needs. There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together.

Margaret J. Wheatley

He learned by sight, scent, and hearing. He heard all that was said, and talked over and over the questions heard; wore them slick, greasy, and threadbare. He went to political and other speeches and gatherings; he would hear all sides and opinions, talk them over and discuss them, agreeing or disagreeing. Abe, as I said before, was originally a Democrat after the order of Jackson, so was his father, so we all were. He preached, made speeches, read for us, explained to us, etc.(remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln's cousin, Dennis Hanks)

William M. Thayer, Life of Linco

In each of us there is a little of all of us.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Don't let your will roar when your power only whispers.

Thomas Fuller
