Self-determination, the autonomy of the individual, asserts itself in the right to race his automobile, to handle his power tools, to buy a gun, to communicate to mass audiences his opinion, no matter how ignorant, how aggressive, it may be.

Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not.

Stephen King

The mind is a matter over every kind of fortune; itself acts in both ways, being the cause of its own happiness and misery.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

You may lose your wife, you may lose your dog, your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.

Kevin O'Leary

For two hours...some guy followed me around with a pooper scooper.

Rodney Dangerfield

To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal withpeople, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you neednothing. Be what you are--conscious being--and don't stray away fromyourself.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.

Molly Ringwald

There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

William J. Clinton

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.

Henry David Thoreau

Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.

Francis Bacon

I am opposed to the use of public funds for private education.

Jonathan Kozol

If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.

John Maxwell

The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
