Michelangelo

John Keynes

Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.

Jean-Paul Sartre

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

German Proverb

Be silent, or say something better than the silence.

Kris Kristofferson

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

Mitch Albom

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harms we do, we do to ourselves.

Winston Churchill

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer.

Winston Churchill

Albert Einstein

Learning is experiencing, everything else is information.

Henri Poincaré

The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living. I am not speaking, of course, of the beauty which strikes the senses, of the beauty of qualities and appearances. I am far from despising this, but it has nothing to do with science. What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.

William James

First, you know, a new theory is attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obvious and insignificant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adversaries claim that they themselves discovered it.

In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.

Gilda Radner

I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

George Burns

I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.

Winston Churchill

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

Victor Grayson

Never explain yourself: your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

Meredith Wilson (The Music Man)

You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering.
