The whole visible world is only an imperceptible atom in the ample bosom of nature. No idea approaches it.

Money is good for bribing yourself through the inconveniences of life.

Gottfried Reinhardt

When you see a worthy person, endeavor to emulate him. When you see an unworthy person, then examine your inner self.

Confucius

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

William Arthur Ward

To beautify life is to give it an object.

Jose Marti

Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone. It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones, to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen. If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity. And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others.

Gladys Taber

A good health policy is based on three principles. Unfortunately, nobody knows them.

Gerhard Kocher

Abortion is inherently different from other medical procedures because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of a potential life.

Potter Stewart

My own nature hovers between neurotic and paranoid. I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.

Martha Beck

Modest doubt is call'd the beacon of the wise.

William Shakespeare

I feel like in America, we don't have a kid problem. You think about all these issues that these kids are dealing with, we have an adult problem. We have adults that do not place the priority on our kids to get a valuable education.

Alonzo Mourning

I never pursued being 'famous.'

Francesca Annis

There are, first of all, two kinds of authors: those who write for the subject's sake, and those who write for writing's sake. [...] The truth is that when an author begins to write for the sake of covering paper, he is cheating the reader; because he writes under the pretext that he has something to say.

Arthur Schopenhauer
