There is no such thing as a moral dress. It's people who are moral or immoral.

You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.

Anthony Robbins

A correct answer is like an affectionate kiss.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Denial and affirmation are games which people play.There are people who deny that they are capable of denying, and who would insist that people do not insist.

Idries Shah

I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmitted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmitted into a power that can move the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

Muriel Spark

The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.

Joseph Joubert

However, science isn't just about showing when you're right; it's also about showing when you're wrong.

Phil Plait

Now I can broach the notion of suicide. It has already been felt what solution might be given. At this point the problem is reversed. It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear, on the contrary, that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning. Living an experience, a particular fate, is accepting it fully. Now, no one will live this fate, knowing it to be absurd, unless he does everything to keep before him that absurd brought to light by consciousness.

Albert Camus

Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

Thomas Fuller

The truth brings no man a fortune.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

That's the beauty of music. You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn't make any difference where the theme comes from the treatment of it can be jazz.

Dave Brubeck

Borrowing is not much better than begging; just as lending with interest is not much better than stealing.

Doris Lessing
