From David Bowie

From Eleanor Rooselvelt

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

From Joseph Addison

From Oscar Wilde

I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.

From William Faulkner

All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.

From Anatole France

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

From Bruce Barton

From James Fallows

Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.

From Marcus Tullius Cicero

Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
