Brian Tracy

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.

Washington Irving

When you are in company, do not forget what you have found out when you were thinking in solitude; and when you are meditating in solitude, think about what you found out by communicating with other people.

Leo Tolstoy

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge. I fear that in many cases this is no longer true, if it ever was.

John Redwood

Henry Ward Beecher

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. Jesus -- John 17:3

Bible

There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.

Francis Bacon

Woman, the more careful she is about her face, the more careless about her house.

Ben Johnson
