Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen

Sono egoista, impaziente e un po' insicura. Commetto errori, sono fuori controllo e, allo stesso tempo, difficile da gestire.Ma se non sei in grado di gestire il mio lato peggiore, allora certamente non sarai in grado di gestire quello migliore.

Marilyn Monroe

When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears.

S.N. Goenka

Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.

Thomas J. Watson

I want to go ahead of Father Time with a scythe of my own.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

FOR a long time the conviction has been dimly felt in the community that, without prejudice to existing institutions, the legal day of weekly rest might be employed to advantage for purposes affecting the general good.

Felix Adler

If you make a decision in your life, even one as eminently logical and self-improving as Why'd you start washing your hair every day? and you start getting questioned hourly about it, you're going to start second-guessing yourself.

Keith Olbermann

I don't know any other lifestyle. I get up in the morning and I really do feel that the world is my oyster, and I start that way, the same as I would if I were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it.

So I developed very early a massive inferiority complex, and I've told the story often about how that inspired me later in life to get involved in other things, because I couldn't out-do my brothers in sports, and it's a very competitive relationship.

George J. Mitchell

The drive to resist compulsion is more important in wild animals than sex, food, or water. He found that captive white-footed mice spent inordinate time and energy just resisting experimental manipulation. If the experimenters turned the lights up, the mouse spent his time turning them down. If the experimenter turned the lights down, the mouse turned them up. The drive for competence or to resist compulsion is a drive to avoid helplessness.

Martin E. P. Seligman

There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.

Black Elk

No matter how bad a child is, he is still good for a tax deduction.

Proverb

We are a people that have always celebrated other people's success so long as we always had the opportunity to meet that success ourselves. That is the American nature. That is the American character. That is one of the things that makes us different from the rest of the world. And I'm afraid we could lose that or are on the verge of losing that.
