You never fail until you stop trying.

We have magnificent brains, but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant, to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.

Patricia Sun

I love being a dad. I'd have more kids if I could. I'd take a couple more, one or two more before I croak.

Richie Sambora

There are a lot of things that fit on a bumper sticker in terms of either liberty or equality or progress that when made more concrete just don't pan out.

Laurence Tribe

One more thing...

Steve Jobs

Beauty and wisdom are rarely conjoined.

Petronius

It is wisdom to recognize necessity when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.

J.R.R. Tolkien

What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute. There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity -- for where will the stone go, once it is quarried?

Antoine De SaintExupery

Opposition, n. In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amok by hamstringing it.

Ambrose Bierce

We all indulge in the strange, pleasant process called thinking, but when it comes to saying, even to someone opposite, what we think, then how little we are able to convey! The phantom is through the mind and out of the window before we can lay salt on

Virginia Woolf

Every man is surrounded by a neighborhood of voluntary spies.

Jane Austen

I'm very concerned for the future of the earth and its amazing creatures. We've got to be careful and make sure we don't foul our own nest.

John Lithgow

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Albert Einstein
