Social thinking dilutes most personal power.

There will always be vain, obsessive people who want to own rare and extraordinary things whatever the cost there will always be people for whom owning beautiful, dangerous animals brings a sense of power and magic.

Susan Orlean

Care and diligence bring luck.

Thomas Fuller

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.

Virginia Woolf

Since Time is not a person we can overtake when he is gone, let us honor him with mirth and cheerfulness of heart while he is passing

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

But we can't impose our own goals, wishes, or help on anyone. We can only teach, support, and love. We give them more opportunities, more choices. Then we love them regardless of the choices they make, hoping that they will learn to make better ones in the future.

Stacey Bess

The more you make fun of yourself and don't try to go for any kind of respect, the more people seem to respect you.

James Van Der Beek

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight, what counts is the size of the fight in the dog.

Mark Twain

The overall picture, as the boys say, is of a degraded community whose idealism even is largely fake. The pretentiousness, the bogus enthusiasm, the constant drinking, the incessant squabbling over money, the all-pervasive agent, the strutting of the big shots (and their usually utter incompetence to achieve anything they start out to do), the constant fear of losing all this fairy gold and being the nothing they have never ceased to be, the snide tricks, the whole damn mess is out of this world.

Raymond Chandler

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Buddha

Well, I don't know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire him to tell how to do what I want to do.

John Pierpont Morgan

Life is short; live it up.

Nikita Khrushchev

Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.

Aldous Huxley
