An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.
~ Friedrich Engels
Of course the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you - if you don't
play, you can't win.
~ Robert Heinlein
It is dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people
might remember.

Duty, Coincidence, Tomorrow
A duty dodged is like a debt unpaid; it is only deferred, and we must
come back and settle the account at last.
~ Joseph F. Newton
I like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether
free will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me
speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time,
we're allowed to see out of the corner of our eye.
~ Chuck Sigars
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at
midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself
in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
~ John Wayne

Virtues, Herd Mentality, Seriously
Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.
~ Benjamin Franklin
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they
go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one
by one.
~ Charles Mackay
Take everything you like seriously, except yourselves.
~ Rudyard Kipling

Trees, Longevity, Estate
Trees were so rare in that country, and they had to make such a hard
fight to grow, that we used to feel anxious about them, and visit them
as if they were persons. It must have been the scarcity of detail in
that tawny landscape that made detail so precious.
~ Willa Cather
If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would
have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you
didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it.
~ George Burns
My friends are my estate.
~ Emily Dickinson
