Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you die tomorrow.

Whilst the last members were signing the Constitution, Doctor Franklin, looking towards the Presidents chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art, a rising, from a setting, sun. I have, said he, often and often, in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President, without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now at length, I have the happiness to know, that it is a rising, and not a setting sun.

Benjamin Franklin

Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a great empire and little minds go ill together.

Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned.

Milton Friedman

Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.

Malcolm X

What we play is life.

Louis Armstrong

We must eschew anything trivial. We must embrace all that is frivolous.... Trivial things take up all your time and dull your senses, whereas frivolity is meaningful, profound, worth living and dying for.... If we devote our lives to frivolity, the world will be a far, far better place. Humanity will be better able to fulfill its primary goal, that of having a good time.
