Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!

Marcus Garvey

We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence.

Dag Hammarskjold

I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

Henry David Thoreau

Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

Brigitte Bardot

A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important, but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization.

Howard Gardner

Get me a drink, or I'll tell you I love you. I'll wake you up in an hour or two, crooning, all sloppy and maudlin, tell you I love you really. You'd like that, right? Hearing Momma tell you she loves you? Isn't that what you want, deep inside?

Arthur M. Jolly

Be aware that young people have to be able to make their own mistakes and that times change.

Gina Shapira

And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.

Murray Walker

For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?

Bell Hooks

A noble leader answers not to the trumpet calls of self promotion, but to the hushed whispers of necessity.

Mollie Marti

Thou hast seen nothing yet.

Miguel de Cervantes

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

Benjamin Franklin
