Alice WalkerWisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil GibranIt is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say ‚oral method‘ to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say ‚sign language‘ to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.
Alexander Graham BellAny fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
Henry David ThoreauHave no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.
Salvador DaliIt always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience.
Robert Baden-PowellWe want everybody to act like adults, quit playing games, realize that it’s not just my way or the highway.
Barack ObamaTo enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
BuddhaFirst, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness.

Warren BuffettWe have language and they do not. Chimps communicate by embracing, patting, looking – all these things. And they have lots of sounds. But they cannot sit and discuss. They cannot teach about things that are not present, as far as we know.
Jane GoodallI’m grateful to intelligent people. That doesn’t mean educated. That doesn’t mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call ‚mother wit‘ means intelligence that you had in your mother’s womb. That’s what you rely on. You know what’s right to do.

Robert Baden-PowellI have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem.
Anne FrankThe fact is that when you do something from your heart, you leave a heart print.

Benjamin FranklinAll our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind.
Khalil GibranAn unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.

Mother TeresaBefore I speak, I have something important to say.
Groucho MarxIt is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

George Bernard ShawA good thing to remember is somebody’s got it a lot worse than we do.
Joel OsteenIn the normal flow of a conversation, our attention is divided. We hear parts of what other people are saying, in order to follow and keep the conversation going. At the same time, we’re planning what we’ll say next, some exciting story of our own.
Robert GreeneA fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

J. Robert OppenheimerTo jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.
Winston ChurchillI say there is no darkness but ignorance.
William ShakespeareThere are a lot of self-imposed restrictions by people who somehow believe they have to fall in with a certain military cant. There was always a sense that we had to put things into words that would touch our troops‘ hearts, not just their heads.
Jim MattisWhat you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
ConfuciusForty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.
