The obscurest epoch is to-day.

Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.

Voltaire

As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole--the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives -- you'll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

Stephen Covey

Politeness makes one appear outwardly as they should be within.

Jean de la Bruyere

All thinking men are atheists.

Ernest Hemingway

That phrase, loss of innocence, has become stale with overuse and diminishing returns; no other culture is so addicted to this narcissistic impression of itself as having any innocence to lose in the first place.

Christopher Hitchens

I want to put my hand out and touch you. I want to do for you and care for you. I want to be there when you're sick and when you're lonesome.

Edith Wharton

Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change of attitude.

Katherine Mansfield

And the buying of new machinery meant not only the possibility of production, but even the new technology, 'cos as I mentioned before, we were back of seven, eight years.

Gianni Agnelli

The more I see the less I know for sure.

John Lennon

When you're one of the leaders of the team, there are no days off.

Tom Brady

Idleness does drive me crazy, but I'd rather read or write than do anything just to work. A kind of respect has been instilled in me for acting: I love it too much to ever have a bad relationship with it.

Karen Allen

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.

Aristotle
