The sage does not hoard. Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; having given all he has to others, he is richer still.

He did not care for the lying at first. He hated it. Then later he had come to like it. It was part of being an insider but it was a very corrupting business.

Paul Brown

Failure, then, failure! so the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out!

The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results.

William James

Joan Cusack

We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which.

Jodi Picoult

Ovid
