I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

T. Boone Pickens

Time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true.

Marcel Proust

Official truths are often powerful illusions

John Pilger

Sewaktu kanak-kanak aku percaya pada cinta, sama seperti aku percaya pada peri. Namun pada suatu hari aku mencari di celah-celah kayu dan di balik tudung-tudung jamur. Dan aku tidak menemukan peri atau makhluk-makhluk gaib, hanya lumut, jamur, tanah, dan serangga...Serangga itu bukannya berciuman, melainkan saling memangsa

Susanna Tamaro

Labor wants pride and joy in doing good work, a sense of making or doing something beautiful or useful - to be treated with dignity and respect as brother and sister.

Thorstein Veblen

The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.

David Herbert Lawrence

Being a gentleman is a worthy goal.

Orlando Bloom

Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.

J. P. Senn

Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

Pliny the Elder

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you've lost them forever.

Wayne Dyer
