Mahatma Gandhi

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college.

Khaled Hosseini

The good fellow to everyone is a good friend to no one.

Yiddish Proverb

They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no.

Terry Pratchett

I would have rummaged, ransacked at the word; Those old odd corners of an empty heart; For remnants of dim love the long disused, And dusty crumbling of romance!

Robert Browning

Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment.
