Shakspeare never has six lines together without a fault. Perhaps you may find seven: but this does not refute my general assertion.

Samuel Johnson

Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.

Aristotle

I've done a lot of things in a business where you're lucky to stay alive, so when the time comes, I'll be happy to pass my knowledge along and help someone else.

Felix Baumgartner

Our fate, whatever it is to be, will be overcome by patience under it.
