True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance. Akhenaton
A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing; Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught! Thomas A. Kempis
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. Such dangers are without, and are but petty. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers.
The great dangers are within us. What matters it what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think only of what threatens our souls. Victor Hugo
Time isn't a commodity, something you pass around like cake. Time is the substance of life. When anyone asks you to give your time, they're really asking for a chunk of your life. Antoinette Bosco
In the final analysis there is no solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decisions, the day's generous utterances and the day's good deed. Clare Booth Luce
There is absolutely no point in sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself. The great power you have is to let it go. Focus on what you have, not what has been mean or unkindly removed. Minnie Driver
