Some want to be owned, and some want to be saved. Only some want to exist in the glow of contentment.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Mark Twain

You don't stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.

George Bernard Shaw

It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.

Millard Fuller

Every man I meet is in some way my superior; and in that I can learn of him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.

Lincoln Steffens

Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting.

John Green

Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume: the hellish cycle is complete.

Raoul Vaneigem

Two things are bad for the heart -- running up stairs and running down people.

Bernard Baruch

Change will never happen when people lack the ability and courage to see themselves for who they are.

Bryant H. McGill

Habit is the beneficent harness of routine which enables silly men to live respectfully and unhappy men to live calmly

George Eliot

Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed the principles that were known to our grandfathers.

William Feather

School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.

John Updike
