What a price we pay for experience, when we must sell our youth to buy it.
Theodore Roosevelt, Paris, Sorbonne 1910
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
Horace Bushnell
It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is simple patience.
Christopher Paolini, Author of Eragon and Eldest. Quote from Eragon
Sometimes there are no answers.
Vernon Howard
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
When a book and a head collide and there is a hollow sound, is it always from the book?
Terence, Adelphoe
I bid him look into the lives of men as though into a mirror, and from others to take an example for himself.
Albert Einstein
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it
Johannes Meister Eckhart
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, 'thank you,' that would suffice.
Eliel Saarinen
Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.
Unknown
You can't make someone love you, and while you try, you lose the people who really care.
John McEnroe

Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore at the rim of a far flung sky.
Lewis Carroll
For I do not believe God means us thus to divide life into two halves - to wear a grave face on Sunday, and to think it out-of-place to even so much as mention Him on a week-day. Do you think He cares to see only kneeling figures and to hear only tones of prayer - and that He does not also love to see the lambs leaping in the sunlight, and to hear the merry voices of the children, as they roll amoung the hay? Surely their innocent laughter is as sweet in His ears as the grandest anthem that ever rolled up from the "dim religious light" of some solemn cathedral?
