I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

Anais Nin

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically.
We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly.
We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another.
The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present.
We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.​

I know what you`re thinking about,` said Tweedledum: ` but it isn`t so, nohow.`

`Contrariwise,` continued Tweedledee, `if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn`t, it ain`t.. That`s logic.`

Henry Ford

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.​

 

[Comshaw]

...On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?' and Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?' but Conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right...There comes a time when silence is betrayal...
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

It's unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot, it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.
John Ruskin

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind
don't matter
and those who matter
don't mind.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

[Sweetpepper]

When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole in them. Picking out all the little details you'd never stare long enough to get if she'd ever just return your gaze, this, this is your revenge.
