Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.

George Eliot

Defoe says that there were a hundred thousand country fellows in his time ready to fight to the death against popery, without knowing whether popery was a man or a horse.

William Hazlitt

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Being naked approaches being revolutionary; going barefoot is mere populism.

John Updike, In Hugging the Shor

John Ruskin

Life is a campaign not a battle, and has its defeats as well as its victories.

Don Piatt

Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coat tails.

Clarence Darrow

To make a statement that one knows is false is more honest than to make a statement that one knows is true.

Lionel Suggs

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings.

Phillips Brooks

Love as thou wilt

Jacqueline Carey

We've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II.

Warren Buffett

Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled, be surrounded by people I care about to share it with, and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!
