Quotations Update
Eric Hoffer
You dehumanize a man as much by returning him to nature - by making him one with rocks, vegetation, and animals - as by turning him into a machine. Both the natural and the mechanical are the opposite of that which is uniquely human. Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines. It is also obvious that when man domesticated animals and plants he acquired self-made machines for the production of food, power, and beauty.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.
Mark Twain
I can live two months on a good compliment.
Olive Schreiner
My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.
Benjamin Franklin
He that is good at making excuses is seldom good at anything else.

Tryon Edwards
He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today.
Niccolo Machiavelli
War is a profession by which a man cannot live honorably; an employment by which the soldier, if he would reap any profit, is obliged to be false, rapacious, and cruel.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product.
William Jennings Bryan
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
