The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored. Only those who consciously think about the adventure of living as a matter of making choices among options, which they have found for themselves, ever establish real self-control and live their lives fully.

A man's ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful-while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly.

Henry David Thoreau, Excursions,

Whether you think you can or you think you can't either way you are right!

Henry Ford

As you grow older, you change.

Martin Scorsese

As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as (the) brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun'

Jonathan Edwards

The biological evolutionary perception of life and of human qualities is radically different from that of traditional religion, whether it's Southern Baptist or Islam or any religion that believes in a supernatural supervalance over humanity.

E. O. Wilson

A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time.

Frank Shorter

I hope we don't get to the point where we have to have the cat stop chasing the mouse to teach him glassblowing and basket weaving.

Joseph Barbera

Time is the wisest counselor of all.

Pericles

First and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money.

Ringo Starr

A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual.

Paulo Coelho

Half of seeming clever is keeping your mouth shut at the right times.

Patrick Rothfuss

Folly is the direct pursuit of happiness and beauty

George Bernard Shaw
