Great Quotes
David Starr Jordan, The Philosophy of Despair
Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.
William Carleton
"Careful with fire" is good advice we know.
"Careful with words" is ten times doubly so.
Louis K. Anspacher

Francis Jeffrey

Emily Dickinson
Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed.
John Alexander Smith, Speech to Oxford University students, 1914
Gentlemen, you are now about to embark on a course of studies which will occupy you for two years. Together, they form a noble adventure. But I would like to remind you of an important point. Nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies will be of the slightest possible use to you in after life, save only this, that if you work hard and intelligently you should be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole, purpose of education.
Buddha
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

The little foolery that wise men have makes a great show.
