Neville Chamberlain

In business or in life, don't follow the wagon tracks too closely.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

You must rouse into people's consciousness their own prudence and strength, if you want to raise their character.

Marquis De Vauvenargues

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.

Socrates

I don't go to premieres. I don't go to parties. I don't covet the Oscar. I don't want any of that. I don't go out. I just have dinner at home every night with my kids. Being famous, that's a whole other career. And I haven't got any energy for it.

Gary Oldman

Toni Cade Bambara

William Shakespeare

There are only two things worth aiming for, good music and a clean conscience.

Paul Hindemith

Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.

Thomas Carlyle
