There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate when he can't afford it, and when he can. - from Following the Equator

Managers are people who do things right; leaders are people who do the right thing.

Warren Bennis

The greenest home is the one you don't build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that's already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels don't want.

Scott Adams

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.

William S. Burroughs

The amount of speculation surrounding my romantic life is astounding. It's strange how involved people get: invested and angry, really disappointed.

Sienna Miller

Accio Brain!

J.K. Rowling

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

John Keats

Napoleon affords us an example of the danger of elevating one's self to the absolute, and sacrificing everything to the carrying out of an idea.

Johann von Goethe

I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.

Arthur Ashe

Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, Go to sleep by yourselves. And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.

Margaret Mead

We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets -- we remember only.

Henry Miller

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

Dale Carnegie
