I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.

The man who has no more problems to solve, is out of the game.

Elbert Hubbard

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.

William Morris

I don't really know that this story has a whole lot of things happen in it. It doesn't really. It's just a record of how things were in my life during this last winter. I guess things happened, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Markus Zusak

Patience means restraining one's inclinations.

Tokugawa Ieyasu

It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.

Albert Einstein

Those who gave away their wings are sad not to see them fly.

Antonio Porchia

I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselves.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.

Oscar Wilde

Buyers are graded not only on their successes, but also on their failures. Too many hits means the buyer isn't taking enough chances.

Leslie Wexner

This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and, after doing so, to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community --the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves.

Andrew Carnegie

The weakest spot in any person is where they think themselves to be the wisest.

G. Emmons

I got politics and economics moving and then others took over.
