Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.

Friendship is far more tragic than love. It lasts longer.

Oscar Wilde

Do but take care to express yourself in a plain, easy Manner, in well-chosen, significant and decent Terms, and to give a harmonious and pleasing Turn to your Periods: study to explain your Thoughts, and set them in the truest Light, labouring as much as possible, not to leave them dark nor intricate, but clear and intelligible.

Miguel de Cervantes, Preface to

No man is the wiser for his learning it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon but wit and wisdom are born with a man.

John Selden

Oscar Wilde

Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments

Benjamin Franklin

I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that, at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself, in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be exercised, first a little, and then more and more. All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap.

John Patrick Shanley

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.

Karl Marx

Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.

Theodore Roosevelt

Love to me is a feeling, to have universal love you have to always feel love no matter what.

James Dye

Yeah, we deserve to die, but Jesus died for you.
