You never know what's hit you. A gunshot is the perfect way.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay.

Theodore Roosevelt

Just know I amNot there to catch youBut I am there for you

Caleb Warta

I've always shied away from conventional wisdom, though I know the power of it.

Robert A. Heinlein

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

Ray Bradbury

He broke fresh ground-because, and only because, he had the courage to go ahead without asking whether others were following or even understood. He had no need for the divided responsibility in which others seek to be safe from ridicule, because he had been granted a faith which required no confirmation-a contact with reality, light and intense like the touch of a loved hand: a union in self-surrender without self- destruction, where his heart was lucid and his mind was loving.

Dag Hammarskjold

The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives.

Oscar Wilde

In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.

Albert Einstein

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.

Conan O'Brien

Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens.

Friedrich von Schiller

Love will conquer at the last.

Alfred Tennyson
