Being on the run, having to change the way that you do business, being unable to plan in a safe and secure environment, always looking over your shoulder, knowing that some day somebody's going to knock on your door and it's going to be your last.
From Jimmy Carter
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

From Mother Teresa
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

From Irving Babitt
For behind all imperialism is ultimately the imperialistic individual, just as behind all peace is ultimately the peaceful individual.
From William Faulkner
It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.
From Richard Nelson Bolles
I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change.

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
From Duana Michals
I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.
From L Frank Baum
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
From Theodor Geisel
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
From Harold Wilson
He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.
From C S lewis
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
From Carl Jung
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
From Jimi Hendrix
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
From B B King
I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.
From Benjamin Britten
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
From E B White
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
From Lao Tzu
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
From Julie Andrews
All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.
From Douglas Adam
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
From John Leonard
Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.
From Doug Collins
Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win.
From Octavio Paz
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.
From Andre Gide
Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
From Henry Miller
An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
From John Ruskin
All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.
From William James
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
From Hugh Sidey
A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
From Freidrich Nietzsche
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
From William Ralph Inge

From Confucius
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
From Predo Calderon de la Barca
But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters. If it be truth, for truth's sake. If not, then to gain friends for the time when we awaken.
From Karen Horney
Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.
From Umbreto Eco
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
From John Burroughs
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
From Muhammad Ali
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
From Barack Obama
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
From Abraham Lincoln
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Time by Kahlil Gibran
Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.
From C S Lewis
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
