In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect... and no.

Jane Haddam

Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

C.S. Lewis

Lester B. Pearson

I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine.

Caskie Stinnett

Every blunder behind us is giving a cheer for us, and only for those who were willing to fail are the dangers and splendors of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Unmoved though Witlings sneer and Rivals rail, Studious to please, yet not ashamed to fail. He scorns the meek address, the suppliant strain. With merit needless, and without it vain. In Reason, Nature, Truth, he dares to trust: Ye Fops, be silent: and ye Wits, be just.

Samuel Johnson
