William Hazlitt

A great man's greatest good luck is to die at the right time.

Eric Hoffer

One should never use exclamation points in writing. It is like laughing at your own joke.

Mark Twain

Aristotle

Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.

I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear.

Calvin Klein

Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Friedrich Nietzsche
