Truly it is an evil to be full of faults, but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
Blaise Pascal
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life and the promise of future accomplishments.
Gustave Flaubert
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
I think and that is all that I am.
Wayne Dyer
It is indolence... Indolence and love of ease, a want of all laudable ambition of taste for good company or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish, read the newspaper watch the weather and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.
Jane Austen
There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect.
Henry David Thoreau
When you are on a railway station platform waiting for the train that is due and when you come to know that it arrives five hours late how do you react? You fling abusive words at train.

It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas.
Ronald Reagan
I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete by revering one's body as an instrument rather than just an ornament.
Alanis Morissette
Man's unique reward however is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background man survives by adjusting his background to himself.
Ayn Rand
