As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

Erich Fromm

A theme is a memory aid, it helps you through the presentation just as it also provides the thread of continuity for your audience.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The point is that no matter what you choose to do with your body when you die, it won't, ultimately, be very appealing. If you are inclined to donate yourself to science, you should not let images of dissection or dismemberment put you off.

Mary Roach

Cassandra Clare

The wheel of life has many spokes yet so few people ever leave the hub.

Stanley Victor Paskavich

The secret to building large apps is never build large apps. Break your applications into small pieces. Then, assemble those testable, bite-sized pieces into your big application.

Justin Meyer

I think ever since I was preteen I wanted to direct movies and tell stories.

Fred Durst

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Terry Pratchett
