But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail.

The purpose of my life is to try out the ideas I have for it.

William Penn

People are always complaining that life's not fair, but that simply isn't true. Life is extraordinarily fair. It's just not centered on you.

Lynn Marie Sager

Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.

Heath L. Buckmaster

Intelligence appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without education. Education enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence.

Albert Edward Wiggam

More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them.

Harold J. Smith

The world is a good judge of things, for it is in natural ignorance, which is man's true state. The sciences have two extremes which meet. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great intellects, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same ignorance from which they set out; but this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself. Those between the two, who have departed from natural ignorance and not been able to reach the other, have some smattering of this vain knowledge and pretend to be wise. These trouble the world and are bad judges of everything. The people and the wise constitute the world; these despise it, and are despised. They judge badly of everything, and the world judges rightly of them.

Blaise Pascal

People who matter are most aware that everyone else does, too.

Malcolm Stevenson Forbes

Jessica Lange

I wont quarrel with my bread and butter.

Jonathan Swift, Polite Conversat

Racism is one of the worst forms of torture because it's directed at something you never asked for and something you can't change.

Paolo Nutini

Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
