The present generation, wearied by its chimerical efforts, relapses into complete indolence. Its condition is that of a man who has only fallen asleep towards morning: first of all come great dreams, then a feeling of laziness, and finally a witty or clever excuse for remaining in bed.

The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

Karl Marx

There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. The failure is a stranger in his own house.

Eric Hoffer

A person who does not have stability of mind is an unstable dinghy. In this struggle of life, I will confront all the challenges with truth and strength, and will never waver. Cowardliness is an eveil which I should banish from my life.

Totaram Sanadhya

We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.

Albert Einstein

The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.

Robert Hughes

Alexander Calder

Beauty is all about us, but how many are blind! They look at the wonder of this earth and seem to see nothing. People move hectically but give little thought to where they are going. They seek excitement...as if they were lost and desperate.

Pau (Pablo) Casals

Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.

William Jefferson Clinton

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

Sir Winston Churchill

Everything I've always done has been for the sole purpose of increasing my lovemaking output. A lot of guys won't admit that, but I do. I just want to make love.

Rick Fox

Always desire to learn something useful.

Sophocles

Some counterfeits reproduce so very well the truth that it would be a flaw of judgment not to be deceived by them.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
