Don't take life too serious. You'll never escape it alive anyway.

Elbert Hubbard

Only the wisest and the stupidest of men never change.

Confucius (551?-479? B.C.)

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Malcolm Muggeridge

Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.

Thomas Jefferson

I think that technologies are morally neutral until we apply them. It's only when we use them for good or for evil that they become good or evil.

William Gibson

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

John F. Kennedy

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destrous community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

Dr. Martin Luther King, jr.

The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind

Freud

Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?

Solomon Short

After a time, you may find that "having" is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as "wanting." It is not logical, but it is often true.

There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.

"Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."
