Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless.

The color of truth is gray.

André Gide

Who dares, win

Paulo Coelho

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

Kurt Cobain

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

On the Day of Atonement, Jews are commanded to seek forgiveness from the people we have hurt.

Laura Schlessinger

It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

Niccolo Machiavelli

The smallest atom of truth represents some man's bitter toil and agony; for every ponderable chunk of it there is a brave truth-seeker's grave upon some lonely ash-heap and a soul roasting in hell

Henry Louis Mencken

Whether he is aware of it or not, every human being dwells in tradition and history. Human memory is this constant dwelling in tradition. It constitutes that fundamental human characteristic of historicity.

Medard Boss

A great mind becomes a great fortune.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion.

Paulo Coelho

The barrenest of all mortals is the sentimentalist.

Thomas Carlyle

All that a good government aims at... is to add no unnecessary and artificial aid to the force of its own unavoidable consequences, and to abstain from fortifying and accumulating social inequality as a means of increasing political inequalities.

James F. Cooper
