John A. Field


I have been both rich and poor--while I have respect for both, I am unimpressed and unawed by both as well.

John B. Gough


If you want to succeed in the world you must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a-coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the road side until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

John Locke


Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. One great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.

Pearl Buck, quoted in O Magazine, May 2003


Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same.

Andre Gide


It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.

John Wooden


It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

H. L. Mencken


The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.

Rabbi Harold Kushner


We are here to change the world with small acts of thoughtfulness done daily rather than with one great breakthrough.
