Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.

Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy.

We mortals with immortal minds are only born for sufferings and joys, and one could almost say that the most excellent receive joy through sufferings.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Meditations
Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.

Doctors pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, into patients of whom they know nothing.
Eustace Budgell
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Love is not a crime, denying it is. Having dreams is not a crime, not chasing them is. Making mistakes is not a crime, not learning from them is. Life is not a crime, not living it is.
Franklin P. Adams
To err is human; to forgive, infrequent.
Yiddish Proverb
Truth never dies, but lives a wretched life.
Erich Sauer

Quotations Update
D. H. Lawrence
I have never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A little bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. That is part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure continously without resentment.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We see but dimly through the mists and vapors Amid these earthly damps What seem to us but sad, funeral tapers May be heaven's distant lamps.
Bokonon
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
T. S. Eliot
We shall never cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Samuel Beckett
The major sin is the sin of being born.
