You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.

Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
Man is to himself the most wonderful object in nature; for he cannot conceive what the body is, still less what the mind is, and least of all how a body should be united to a mind. This is the consummation of his difficulties, and yet it is his very being.

Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662), Pensees(II,72)
No wonder Americans hate politics when, year in and year out, they hear politicians make promises that won't come true because they don't even mean them - campaign fantasies that win elections but don't get nations moving again.

Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC), Antigone

Sir Thomas More (1478 - 1535), Utopia
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Julius Caesar", Act 2 scene 2
- More quotations on: [Cowardice]
We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

Charlton Ogburn, "Merrill's Marauders", Harpers Magazine, January 1957
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.

There are women who are for all your 'times of life.' They're the most wonderful sort.
