All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.

Here lies our Sovereign Lord, the King whose word no man relies on: He never said a foolish thing nor ever did a wise one.

Earl Rochester

Sloth is the key to poverty.

Proverb

Listen! What is life? It is a feather, it is the seed of the grass, blown hither and thither, sometimes multiplying itself and dying in the act, sometimes carried away into the heavens. But if that seed be good and heavy it may perchance travel a little way on the road it wills. It is well to try and journey one's road and to fight with the air. Man must die. At the worst he can but die a little sooner.

H. Rider Haggard

Men must endureTheir going hence, even as their coming hither.Ripeness is all.

William Shakespeare

I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.

Robyn Davidson

All things must; man is the only creature that wills.

Friedrich von Schiller

One night I walked home very late and fell asleep in somebody'ssatellite dish. My dreams showed up on TVs all over the world.

Steven Wright

Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life.

Sanskrit Poem

Knowing one's 'individuality'. - We are too prone to forget that in the eyes of people who are seeing us for the first time we are something quite different from what we consider ourselves to be: usually we are nothing more than a single individual trait which leaps to the eye and determines the whole impression that we make.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm an enormous fan of people who have had a lot of faith in themselves, and been on a tremendous journey.

Joanna Trollope

What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells?

Mahatma Gandhi

In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.

Jonathan Swift
