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

Stephen Spang

 

"Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will."

 --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 1792. ME 9:7


"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
--Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Now all my tales are based on the fundamental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large."
-- H. P. Lovecraft

"The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

"You give but little when you give of our possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you might need them tomorrow?

And what is fear of need but need itself?" - Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet" (On "Giving")
