"If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart."
Socrates
"I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again."
Socrates
"Only the extremely ignorant or the extremely intelligent can resist change."
Socrates
"I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image."
Stephen Hawking
"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."
Stephen Hawking
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out."
Stephen King
"The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself."
Steve Martin
"You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave."
Sydney Smith
"If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?"
T.S. Eliot
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
T.S. Eliot
"Abuse, if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it."
Tacitus
"All enterprises that are entered into with indiscreet zeal may be pursued with great vigor at first, but are sure to collapse in the end."
Tacitus
"Greater things are believed of those who are absent."
Tacitus
"Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor."
Tacitus
"To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it."
Tacitus
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Theodor Seuss Geisel
"Fantasy is a necessary ingrediant in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
Theodor Seuss Geisel
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
Theodore Roosevelt
