Perhaps I am stronger than I think.

History does not merely touch on language, but takes place in it.

Theodor Adorno

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Swami Vivekananda

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

Babe Ruth

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It is not enough to merely defend democracy. To defend it may be to lose it; to extend it is to strengthen it. Democracy is not property; it is an idea.

Hubert Humphrey

Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.

William Butler Yeats

In great straits and when hope is small, the boldest counsels are the safest.

Livy

But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint. Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.

Thomas Carlyle

Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?

Daniel Daly

Tiger Woods is the only sports star who's worth every penny he makes.

Mark Wahlberg

In dreams begin responsibility.

William Butler Yeats

The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.

Adlai Stevenson
