The important thing to recognize is that it takes a team, and the team ought to get credit for the wins and the losses. Successes have many fathers, failures have none.

ARCHITECTURE, n The art of how to waste space.

It matters not how long we live but how.

Art is a man's nature nature is God's art.

I thank my God everytime I remember you.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Most maxim-mongers have preferred the prettiness to the justness of a thought, and the turn to the truth but I have refused myself to everything that my own experience did not justify and confirm.

Ridicule is the best test of truth.

Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket and do not pull it out and strike it, merely to show that you have one.

The more one works, the more willing one is to work.

I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.

Learning is acquired by reading books but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading man, and studying all the various editions of them.

In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.

The pleasure is momentary, the position rediculous, and the expense damnable.

Be wiser than other people if you can but do not tell them so.

Vicious minds abound with anger and revenge are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies.

A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones.

The heart never grows better by age I fear rather worse always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.

Man is more himself, man is more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief the superficial.

Being convinced one knows the whole story is the surest way to fail.

You have to lead people gently toward what they already know is right.

If anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we are planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow.

Making a wrong decision is understandable. Refusing to search continually for learning is not.

Selecting the right person for the right job is the largest part of coaching.

There is nothing fantastic or ultradimansional about crab grass... unless you are an sf writer, in which case pretty soon you are viewing crab grass with suspicion. What are it's real motives And who sent it here in the first place It only looks like crab grass. That's what they want us to think it is. One day the crab grass suit will fall off and their true identity will be revealed. By then the Pentagon will be full of crab grass and it'll be too late. The crab grass, or what we took to be crab grass, will dictate terms.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Don't try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night.

Human beings are part of nature. Anything they do is natural. It's impossible for anything in nature to do anything unnatural.

History repeats itself historians repeat each other.

Autobiography is an unrivaled vehicle for telling the truth about other people.

Most history is a record of triumphs, disasters, and follies of top people. The black hole in it is the way of life of mute, inglorious men and women who made no nuisance of themselves in the world.

And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, Don't let logic interfere, believe your heart instead.

History makes us some amends for the shortness of life.

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

It seems to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.

Some people make headlines while others make history.

Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author
