O man, place not thy confidence in this present world!" - Abder-Rahman III
"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde
"Many a good intention dies from inattention. If, through carelessness or indolence, or selfishness, a good intention is not put into effect, we have lost an opportunity, demoralized ourselves, and stolen from the pile of possible good. To be born and not fed, is to perish. To launch a ship and neglect it is to lose it. To have a talent and bury it, is to be a "wicked and slothful servant."

"A thorough-paced knave will rarely quarrel with one whom he can cheat: his revenge is plunder; therefore he is usually the most forgiving of beings, upon the principle that if he come to an open rupture, he must defend himself; and this does not suit a man whose vocation it is to keep his hands in the pocket of another." - Charles Caleb Colton
"A better principle than this, that "the majority shall rule," is this other, that justice shall rule. "Justice," says the code of Justinian, "is the constant and perpetual desire to render every man his due." - Christian Nestell Bovee

"History is but a fable agreed upon." - Napoleon Bonaparte
"No man can promise himself even fifty years of life, but any man may, if he please, live in the proportion of fifty years in forty--let him rise early, that he may have the day before him, and let him make the most of the day, by determining to expend it on two sorts of acquaintance only--those by whom something may be got, and those from whom something maybe learnt." - Charles Caleb Colton
"Dangers are no more light if they once seem light, and more dangers have deceived men than forced them; nay, it were better to meet some dangers half-way, though they come nothing near, than to keep too long a watch upon their approaches; for if a man watch too long it is odds he will all fast asleep." - Francis Bacon

"The world is God's workshop; the raw materials are His; the ideals and patterns are His; our hands are "the members of Christ," our reward His recognition.

This makes life sacramental, turning its water into wine. This is twice blessed, blessing both the
worker and the work." - Maltbie Davenport Babcock

His little nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love." - William Wordsworth
