Results from Cole's Quotables:

All truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.: George Orwell (1903 - 1950)
To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.: Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)
Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other.: Baha'u'llah
I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.: Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.: Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919), "Man in the Arena" Speech given April 23, 1910
It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect.: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930), Sherlock Holmes in "The Dancing Men"
The man who comes with a tale about others has himself an ax to grind.: Chinese proverb
