Long years must pass before the truths we have
made for ourselves become our very flesh.
Paul Valery
Time is but the stream I go a-fishin in. I drink at it, but
while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow
it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.
Henry David Thoreau
The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Robert Louis Stevenson

the responsibility for our future.
George Bernard Shaw
It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.

Benjamin Franklin
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.
Edward Phelps
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar
However gradual the course of history, there must always be
the day, even an hour and minute, when some significant action
is performed for the first or last time.
Peter Quennell
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never
beginning to live.
Marcus Aurelius
Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will
have neighbors.
Confucius
Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.
D.H. Lawrence
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later
a thousandfold.
Aristotle
Half the work that is done in the world is to make things appear
what they are not.
E.R. Beadle
Success is never final.
Winston Churchill
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection,
which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and
third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
There is only one way to come into this world; there are too
many ways to leave it.
Donald Harington
The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a
friend is to be one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happiness, though an indefinite concept, is the goal of all
rational beings.
Immanuel Kant
It appeared to me obvious that the happiness of mankind should
be the aim of all action, and I discovered to my surprise that
there were those who thought otherwise.
Bertrand Russell
All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever
different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The
cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the
same desire in both, attended with different views. This is
the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang
themselves.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing endures but change.
Heraclitus
There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing
is habitual but indecision.
William James
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch
him do it.
Clarence Buddinton Kelland
It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain
why you did it wrong.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What we obtain too cheap we esteem too little; it is dearness
only that gives everything its value.
Thomas Paine
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
George Santayana
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything
one wants.
Blaise Pascal
Life is but a moment, death also is but another.
Dr Robert Schuller
So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and
so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts
itself to a very few hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you
do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this
is knowledge.
Confucius
Such as we are made of, such we be.
William Shakespeare
You only live once- but if you work it right, once is enough.
Joe E. Lewis
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are
loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
We teach what we live.
Author unknown
Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.
T.S. Elliot
In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life;
it goes on!
Leo Buscaglia
It is better to deserve an honor and not receive it, than to
receive one, and not deserve it!
Mark Twain |
