quotes

Never stop because you are afraid- you are never so likely to be wrong. Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention. The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer
- Fridtjof Nansen

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you, for life goes not backwards nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth- Khalil Gibran

When the people contend for their liberty, they seldom get anything by their victory but new masters
- George Savile

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful
- Samuel Johnson

That all who are happy are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of consciousness
- Samuel Johnson

A woman is as old as she looks before breakfast - Ed Howe

If you want to know how old a woman is, ask her sister-in-law -Ed Howe

An optimist is someone who fills in his crossword puzzle in ink - Clement Shorter

Dont worry about temptation, as you grow older it starts avoiding you -Farmers almanac
