- How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success?
- Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
- Every man who observes vigilantly, and resolves steadfastly, grows unconsciously into genius.
- Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873)
- The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
- John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
- You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.
- Robert Collier
- Even good opinions are worth very little unless we hold them in the broad, intelligent, and spacious way.
- John Viscount Morley
- What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it.
- Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904 - 1991)
- Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)
- The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what bring you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn't just a fiction, it's part of our physical body, and our soul exists in space and is inside us, like teeth in our mouth. It can't be forever violated with impunity.
- Boris Pasternak (1890 - 1960), Doctor Zhivago
- I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and women trample themselves in the mire and die. Something magnificent is taking place here amid the cruelties and tragedies, and the supreme challenge to intelligence is that of making the noblest and best in our curious heritage prevail.
- Charles Austin Beard (1874 - 1948)
- And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see.
Cause everybody on the island
Was saying: Look at me! Look at me! - Laurie Anderson, Language Is A Virus
