- Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.
- Emerson
- It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself.

- William Henry Channing
- 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.

- Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944), Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939
- The fruits of all our labors have left us as we started. To grow without is not to grow within.
- Dave Winer
