Ayrton SennaI have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
Mark TwainI thought I would be a guy on the radio.
Steven WrightAs for my own views, they’ve of course evolved over the years. This conception of ‚renouncing beliefs‘ is very odd, as if we’re in some kind of religious cult. I ‚renounce beliefs‘ practically every time I think about the topics or find out what someone else is thinking.
Noam ChomskyAnd obviously, from our own personal point of view, the principal challenge is a personal challenge.

Mahatma GandhiFor years I wanted to be older, and now I am.
Margaret AtwoodIf you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.
Erma BombeckA warrior is not a person that carries a gun. The biggest war you ever go through is right between your own ears. It’s in your mind. We’re all going through a war in our mind, and we have to callus our mind to fight that war and to win that war.

Michelle ObamaWhoever doesn’t know it must learn and find by experience that ‚a quiet conscience makes one strong!‘
Anne FrankNo one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
