"This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody,
and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure
that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did
it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that
Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody
when Nobody did what Anyone could have."

perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul,
sincerity, earnestness and kindness.


The Great Confucious

“When I was praised I lost my time, for instantly I turned around to
look at the work I had thought slightly of, and that day I made nothing
new.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant
of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all
of these.


George Washington Carver

No man is wise enough by himself.

Titus Maccius Plautus

In the baby lies the
future of the world.
Mother must hold the baby close
so that the baby knows it is his
world but the father must take him to
the highest hill so that he can see
what his world is like.

- Mayan Indian Proverb

There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible as the
conscience that dwells in the heart of every man.

Polybius

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you
are expected to give -- which is everything.

"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down
your house, you can never tell."

Joan Crawford

This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use
whatsoever.
Sigmund Freud (about the Irish)

Bertrand Russell:

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce
ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful
because you love her."

Coming generations will learn equality through poverty and love from
woes.

Kahlil Gibran

Some gifts are big, others are small. Gifts from the heart are the best
gifts of all.

Andre Gide:

Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.

Cicero:

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other
but in looking outward together in the same direction."
Saint Exupery

Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward
events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The
best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a
danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose
sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an
apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the
depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best
possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent
upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is
wisdom.
