Paulo Coelho

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

Tim Gunn

There had been an autumn storm of wind and rain, lasting for three days. Thunderous had been the crash of billows on the rocks, wild the white spray and spume that blew over the bar, troubled and misty and tempest-torn the erstwhile blue peace of Four Winds Harbor. Now it was over, and the shore lay clean-washed after the storm; not a wind stirred, but there was still a fine surf on, dashing on sand and rock in a splendid white turmoil--the only restless thing in the great, pervading stillness and peace.

Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne's Hou

Tacitus

Henrik Ibsen

Friedrich Nietzsche

Most of us have jobs that are too small for our spirits.

Studs Terkel

And I really do believe that the most important thing is the way you live your life on earth. But I think it's enormously comforting to believe that you're going to see your loved ones.

Barbara Walters
