To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

Abdus Salam

To love life is to love God. Harder and more blessed than all else is to love this life in one's sufferings, in undeserved sufferings.

Leo Tolstoy

There are no uninteresting things, there are only uninterested people.

G. K. Chesterton

Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.

Jane Austen

Conscience is the only clue that will eternally guide a man clear of all doubts and inconsistencies

Thomas Jefferson

We are citizens of an age, as well as of a State; and if it is held to be unseemly, or even inadmissible, for a man to cut himself off from the customs and manners of the circle in which he lives, why should it be less of a duty, in the choice of his activity, to submit his decision to the needs and the taste of his century?

Friedrich von Schiller

All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.

Rasheed Ogunlaru

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

Kevin Smith

The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it - I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeless.

Hayao Miyazaki

They have been grand-jurymen since before Noah was a sailor

William Shakespeare

Too great a hurry to discharge an obligation is a kind of ingratitude.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.
