Albert Camus


How many crimes are committed simply because their authors could not endure being wrong.

Bill Beattie


The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think--rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.

Proverb

Bruce Lee, Film: (Dragon The Bruce Lee Story. Quotation posted at end of film just before credits)


The key to immortality is first to live a life worth remembering.

Dr. Dale E. Turner


In all the work we do, our most valuable asset can be the attitude of self-examination. It is forgivable to make mistakes, but to stand fast behind a wall of self-righteousness and make the same mistake twice is not forgivable.

William Arthur Ward


Wise are they who have learned these truths Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.

Waiter Rant, Waiter Rant weblog, 09-09-05


We want God to come and save us. But he won�t. God doesn�t stop levees from failing, he doesn�t stay the force of tsunamis, and he doesn�t stop planes from smashing into buildings. Deus Ex Machina is overrated.

W. Edwards Deming


What we need to do is learn to work in the system, by which I mean that everybody, every team, every platform, every division, every component is there not for individual competitive profit or recognition, but for contribution to the system as a whole on a win-win basis.

Howard Crosby


A wisely chosen illustration is almost essential to fasten the truth upon the ordinary mind, and no teacher can afford to neglect this part of his preparation.

Richard Jordan


The law demands good works and uses its terror--rejection, shame, fear of punishment, unanswered prayer, personal tragedy, etc.--as motivation. Here performance is a necessity to secure the blessings and avoid the curses. Grace, on the other hand, allows us to serve on a different basis--not from fear but on the basis of love and gratitude, from appreciation and gladness for blessings freely given and freely received.

Antonin Scalia


Bear in mind that brains and learning, like muscle and physical skill, are articles of commerce. They are bought and sold. You can hire them by the year or by the hour. The only thing in the world not for sale is character.

Jacob Bronowski, 1976


The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.

Martha Graham


Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.

Arthur Guiterman


Active minds that think and study, Like swift brooks are seldom muddy.

Gerald W. Johnson


No man was ever endowed with a right without being at the same time saddled with a responsibility.

Nicholai Velimirovic


Be humble, for the worst thing in the world is of the same stuff as you; be confident, for the stars are of the same stuff as you.

Unknown


One truly cannot be described, If the one doing the describing Has a bad attitude.

Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus


Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.

Terence


Nothing is said that has not been said before.

Alfred E. Neuman, The Half-Wit and Wisdom of Alfred E. Neuman (MAD magazine)


We live in a world where lemonade is made from aritificial flavoring and furniture polish is made from real lemons

I make the most of all that comes,
And the least of all that goes.

That is what marriage really means helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
