They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time.

George Bernard Shaw

George Washington

If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.

Bill Parcells

The wisest keeps something of the vision of a child. Though he may understand a thousand things that a child could not understand, he is always a beginner, close to the original meaning of life.

Walter Bagehot

The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Making excuses is one of a host of self-defeating behaviours and mental patterns that can block your success.

Stephen Richards

Men are in numberless instances qualified for certain things, for no other reason than because they are qualified for nothing else.
