"You may be deceived if you trust to much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough." -Frank H. Crane
"To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed." -Bernard Edmonds
"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at its root." -Henry David Thoreau (hereafter referred to as "THE MAN".)
"It is an interesing question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes." -THE MAN
"Do not despair of life. Think of the fox, prowling in a winter night to satisfy his hunger. His race survives, I do not believe any of them ever committed suicide." -THE MAN
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, this is no other life but this." -THE MAN
"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." -THE MAN "Be and not seem." -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." -H. Jackson Brown"It is only to the individual that the soul is given." -Albert Einstein
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -Albert Einstein
"Many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them--if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." -J. D. Salinger, from "The Catcher in the Rye"
"Among all the tragic consequences of depression and war, this suppression of personal self-expression through one's life work is among the most poignant." -Henry M. Wriston "Chaos is the score upon which reality is written." -Henry Miller "Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the Headless Monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded." -Charlie Chaplin "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." -Albert Einstein "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." -Sir Winston Churchill "Forsake not an old friend, for a new one does not compare with him." - Apocrypha, Ecclesiasticus 9:10 "Unfortunately, I have an open mind. I let down a window in my brain about six or seven inches form the top even in the bitterest weather." -Heywood Broun "We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed." -Charles Caleb Colton "All wish to know, but none want to pay the price." -Juvenal "We are each of us angels wiht only one wing. And we can only fly embracing each other." - Luciano De Crescenzo "Lost time is never found again." -Proverb "It is later than you think." -Chinese Proverb "To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target." -Ashleigh Brilliant "It rarely adds anything to say, 'In my opinion' --not even modesty. Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not the Pope." -Paul Goodman "The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes." -Jonathan Swift
