I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.

Cat Stevens

Never have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Mark Twain

William Saroyan

Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.

Oscar Wilde

No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.

Danica Patrick

Form follows function.

Louis Sullivan

Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly be corrupt.

Joseph Addison

Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.

Ty Cobb

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

Martin Luther King Jr.
