No one ever went broke by saying no too often.


Hasdai Ibn Shaprut (10th Century A.D.)
Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double, and after that, your friend or your foe depending on his bringing up.


Helen Keller 1880-1968
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of man as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.


Henry Fielding 1707-1754
Worth begets in base minds, envy; in great souls, emulation.


Henry Miller
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

Henry Miller
The world is not to be put in order, the world is order incarnate. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.

Hugh Walpole
Don't play for safety-it's the most dangerous thing in the world.


Igor Stravinsky 1936
I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity.


John Cage
If someone says, "can't," that shows you what to do.


John Guare
The rich live hand-to-mouth too - just on a higher level.


John Kenneth Galbraith
In the choice between changing one's mind and proving there's no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof.

John Mansfield
The hours that make us happy make us wise.

John Wooden
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.


Jonathon Kozol
Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.


Jules Ormont
Make yourself indispensable, and you will move up. Act as though you are indispensable, and you will move out.


Jules W Lederer
Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome.


Ken Keyes, Jr
To see your drama clearly is to be liberated from it.

Kitty O'neill Collins
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.

Len Wein
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.


Leo Bascalia
The closest distance between two people is a good laugh.


Leo Rosten
If you are going to do something wrong, at least enjoy it.


Lily Tomlin
The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.


Lloyd Jones
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

M Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Traveled & others
Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.
