| Quote:My son first wanted to go to Stanford, which I thought was O.K. The weather is pretty good, and it's a fairly short drive to the beach.

I said, 'Clearly, I failed as a parent.'[Larry Ellison] Quote:She is not perfect. You are not perfect. The question is whether or not you are perfect for each other.[Robin Williams] Quote:Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.

Lewis] Quote:In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'[Dave Barry] Quote:Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.[Dave Barry] Quote:You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:Only the sinner has the right to preach.[Christopher Morley] Quote:I am a writer of books in retrospect.

They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.[John F.

I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen some of it...[Steven Wright] Quote:Our lives teach us who we are.[Salman Rushdie] Quote:At least five times...with the Arian and the Albigensian, with the Humanist sceptic, after Voltaire and after Darwin, the Faith has to all appearance gone to the dogs. In each of these five cases it was the dog that died.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the oposite direction.[George Carlin] Quote:To teach how to live with uncertainty, yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.[Saul Bellow] Quote:I discovered that rejections are not altogether a bad thing. They teach a writer to rely on his own judgment and to say in his heart of hearts, 'To hell with you.'[Saul Bellow] Quote:I have learnt that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.[Booker T.

Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.[John Lennon] Quote:There are two types of education. One should teach us how to make a living, And the other how to live.[John Adams] Quote:The more you read about politics, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other.[Will Rogers] Quote:Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.[Benajamin Mays] Quote:If women are expected to do the same work as men, we must teach them the same things.[Plato] Quote:How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!

[Amos Bronson Alcott] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:Underlying the whole scheme of civilization is the confidence men have in each other, confidence in their integrity, confidence in their honesty, confidence in their future.

It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.
