To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep: No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,--'t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Hamlet", Act 3 scene 1
The gaudy, blabbing, and remorseful day Is crept into the bosom of the sea.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "King Henry VI Part II", Act 4 scene 1
He hath eaten me out of house and home.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "King Henry IV Part II", Act 2 scene 1

Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), Sonnet lxxxvii
New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.: Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007), Breakfast of Champions

No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties. He must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his deliberate decision.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
The future belongs to those who can rise above the confines of the earth.: Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947), From the viewbook of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
