A virtuous, ordinary life, striving for wisdom but never far from folly, is achievement enough.

This land, which we have watered with our tears and our blood, is now our mother country, and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and gospel is free.

Richard V. Allen

Many have dreamed up republics and principalities that have never in truth been known to exist; the gulf between how one should live and how one does live is so wide that a man who neglects what is actually done for what should be done learns the way to self-destruction rather than self-preservation.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.

George Bernard Shaw

The jewelry business is a very, very tough business - tougher than the computer business. You truly have to understand how to take care of your customers.

Even during the worst hardships, when the other things in our lives seem to fall apart, we can still find peace in the eternal love of God.

There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.

Soren Kierkegaard

You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.

Rumi

Language is the dress of thought.

Samuel Johnson
