William H. Walton


To carry a grudge is like being stung to death by one bee.

Japanese Proverb

Mary Howitt

Proverbs 2416a Bible


For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again...

Larry Riemersma


As a sinner I could not please God, I could not neutralize or pay for my own sin. But when God justified me by His grace He went on record declaring me righteous. He didn't wave a magic wand and declare me to be innocent. His holiness would not permit it. A basis for declaring me righteous was needed. The ground upon which my justification is built is the substitutionary death of His son, Jesus Christ. The shedding of blood demonstrates the righteousness of God 'that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus' (Rom. 326 NKJV). What a marvelous plan Man's plan of salvation by good works is offensive to God and to anyone who has been saved by God's grace.

Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM in 1943


I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot.

Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue.

Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.

Always question. Always analyze. But in the end, suspend judgment until you've been there. Live it to learn it.

Plato, from a footnote in The Colloquy of Monos and Una, Edgar Allen Poe


It will be hard to discover a better [method of education] than that which the experience of so many ages has already discovered, and this may be summed up as consisting in gymnastics for the body, and _music_ for the soul... For this reason is a musical education so essential; since it causes Rhythm and Harmony to penetrate most intimately into the soul, taking the strongest hold upon it, filling it with _beauty_ and making the man _beautiful-minded_.

Norman Mailer, "Esquire", June 1960

Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time


Hammer the iron that lies on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.

Benjamin Franklin


Rules too soft are seldomly followed; rules too harsh are seldomly executed.

Sir B. Brodie


The failure of the mind in old age is often less the results of natural decay, than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate; contentment bring indolence, and indolence decay of mental power, ennui, and sometimes death. Men have been known to die, literally speaking, of disease induced by intellectual vacancy.

Seneca


Live with men as if God saw you converse with God as if men heard you.

Jean De la Fontaine


Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend;
A wise enemy is worth more.
