Freedom, limerick, business decisions

Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party — though they are quite numerous — is no freedom at all. Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters.

~ Rosa Luxemburg

There was a young fellow from Trinity,
Who took the square root of infinity.
But the number of digits,
Gave him the fidgets;
He dropped Math and took up Divinity.

~ George Gamow

Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

~ Peter Drucker

Quotes that set a compass

Don't play for safety. It's the most dangerous thing in the world.

~ Hugh Walpole

All that separates, whether of race, class, creed, or sex, is inhuman, and must be overcome.

~ Kate Sheppard

Some choices will choose you. How you face these choices, these turns in the road, with what kind of attitude, more than the choices themselves, is what will define the context of your life.

~ Dana Reeve

The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

And when you're all grown up to become your self, won't that turn out to be a wonderful thing, after all?

Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. The detective must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor. He talks as the man of his age talks, that is, with rude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for sham, and a contempt for pettiness.

~ Raymond Chandler

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

~ Albert Einstein

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

~ Douglas Adams
