If I could think that I had sent a spark to those who come after I should be ready to say Goodbye.
--Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
The first thing a man will do for his ideals is lie.
--Joseph A. Schumpeter
Certainly, it is a world of scarcity. But the scarcity is not confined to iron ore and arable land. The most constricting scarcities are those of character and personality.
--William R. Allen
Everybody has asked the question. . ."What shall we do with the respectable individual?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the respectable individual cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!
--Frederick Douglass
From my earliest childhood I have been toiling & wearing my heart out for other people, who took all I could do & suffer for them as no more than their just dues.

“Ester asked why people are sad.
"That’s simple," says the old man. "They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”

I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.”

“One researcher said, “It would be nice to do something for them because these kids have been involved, we’ve had to jab them [with needles], and they had to eat a meal—every little drop of it, because you wanted to be sure they got 100 percent of the radioactivity—wouldn’t it be nice to do something for them?”
― Carol Rutz, A Nation Betrayed: Secret Cold War Experiments Performed on our Children and Other Innocent People[Annotated]
“It hurts so much, she thought. Our children, Ned, all our sweet babes. Rickon, Bran, Arya, Sansa, Robb… Robb… please, Ned, please, make it stop, make it stop hurting… The white tears and the red ones ran together until her face was torn and tattered, the face that Ned had loved. Catelyn Stark raised her hands and watched the blood run down her long fingers, over her wrists, beneath the sleeves of her gown. Slow red worms crawled along her arms and under her clothes. It tickles. That made her laugh until she screamed. “Mad,” someone said, “she’s lost her wits,” and someone else said, “Make an end,” and a hand grabbed her scalp just as she’d done with Jinglebell, and she thought, No, don’t, don’t cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. Then the steel was at her throat, and its bite was red and cold.— Catelyn Stark”

“Utopians are heedless of methods. To render the human species happy, they are prepared to subject it to murder, torture, lethal injection, incineration, deportation, sterilization, quartering, lobotomy, electrocution, military invasion, bombing, etc.”
― Juan Rodolfo Wilcock
“Know before whom thou stands. Understand your friends for who they are, not who you wish them to be. Accept them for their flaws as well as their attributes. Turn to them for their strengths, what good stuff they can bring to your life, and forget about the rest. To ask for more only sets you up for failure.”
― Fran Drescher
“Accept who you are. Unless you're a serial killer.”
― Ellen DeGeneres
“Don't get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance.”
― Bill Maher

Re: Your Favorite Quotes
Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.
Anne Hathaway
My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.
Steve Jobs
Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.
Gerard Way
Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second.
Mattie Stepanek
We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy. It is the theme of much television programming across the world. It sells newspapers. Whenever we meet anyone, our first, almost unconscious reaction may be to look for imperfections.

A humorous quote from classic Doctor Who.
The second Doctor and Jamie are trapped by a robotic Yeti.
Jamie - Have ye come up with a clever plan to get us out of here, Doctor?
Doctor - Yes, Jamie, I believe I have.
Jamie - What are ye gonna do?
Doctor - Bung a rock at it!

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
Oscar Wilde
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
Robert Frost
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
Socrates
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
