Television is becoming a collage -- there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

Paulo Coelho

Admittedly, the body of scientists, as a whole, does uphold the authority of science over the lay public. It controls thereby also the process by which young men are trained to become members of the scientific profession.

Michael Polanyi

Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

Ernest Hemingway

The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.

Neil Armstrong

The control of the palate is a valuable aid for the control of the mind.

Mahatma Gandhi

You only get one life. Live it to the fullest. All your miseries will be forgiven when you will be dead.

Santosh Kalwar

Novels are the Socratic dialogues of our time. Practical wisdom fled from school wisdom into this liberal form.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

Muhammad Ali

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.

James Allen

Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.

George Bernard Shaw

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Hugh White

A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.

Thomas Carruthers
