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.

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

You only live once- but if you work it right, once is enough.
