Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.

Andrew Carnegie

This concern with the basic condition of freedom -- the absence of physical constraint -- is unquestionably necessary, but is not all that is necessary.

Aldous Huxley

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

They didn't know why these things were funny. Sometimes you laugh because you've got no more room for crying. Sometimes you laugh because table manners on a beach are funny. And sometimes you laugh because you're alive, when you really shouldn't be.
