An action, to have moral worth, must be done from duty.

Immanuel Kant

If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.

Christopher Hitchens

You'll find boredom where there is an absence of a good idea.

Earl Nightingale
