Bertrand Russell

"Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness."

Marcus Aurelius

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

"Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."

"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."

"Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears."

Aristotle

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

"To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing."

M. Scott Peck

"But whether or not we are willing to entertain seriously the possibility of some kind of rebirth occurring simultaneously with our physical death, it is abundantly clear that this lifetime is a series of simultaneous deaths and births. 'Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live,' said Seneca two millennia ago, 'and what will amaze you even more, throughout life one must learn to die.' It is also clear that the farther one travels on the journey of life, the more births one will experience, and therefore the more deaths - the more joy and the more pain."

"Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else the remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit."

Jane Austin

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation....I was in the middle before I knew I had begun."

"I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."

Elbert Hubbard

"Do not take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive."

"We work to become, not acquire."

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one."

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

"When love is not madness, it is not love."
