This is just a place to post some quotes, which I'll update occasionally.
"Nearly all men can withstand adversity; if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
- Abraham Lincoln
"If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough."
- Mario Andretti
"He who makes a beast of himself get rids of the pain of being of man"
- Dr. Johnson
"Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past."
- Tyron Edwards
"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble."
- Helen Keller
"Do that which you fear, and the death of fear is certain."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the perturbations of love is Hell."
- C.S. Lewis
