When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Give me work to do, Give me health, Give me joy in simple things, Give me an eye for beauty, A tongue for truth, A heart that loves, A mind that reasons, A sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, But a true kindness And a noble common sense. At the close of each day Give me a book And a friend with whom I can be silent.

S. M. Frazier

Georgios A. Papandreou

Chris Ware

Socrates thought and so do I that the wisest theory about the gods is no theory at all.

Michel de Montaigne

I don't believe in hate. To me it wastes too much time. People who hate waste so much of their life hating that they miss out on all the other stuff out here.

Jaycee Dugard
