Results from Cole's Quotables:

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose -- a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797 - 1851)
To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, this is to be my symphony.: William Henry Channing
The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.: George Hyman Rickover
Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.: August Hare
Learn all you can from the mistakes of others. You won't have time to make them all yourself.: Alfred Sheinwold
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.: Richard Bach, The Bridge Across Forever
My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.: Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.: Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864)
One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this.: Cervantes, The Impossible Dream
