There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

Consider the wheelbarrow. It may lack the grace of an airplane, the speed of an automobile, the initial capacity of a freight car, but its humble wheel marked out the path of what civilization we still have.

Cassandra Clare

We should keep so close to facts that we never have to remember the second time what we said the first time.

F. Marion Smith

Mankind has survived all catastrophes. It will also survive modern medicine.

Gerhard Kocher

Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.

Honore de Balzac
