One
must keep to one's gentle habits even if
the Mongols are at the gate, for without
one's gentle habits we are nothing. -
Stuart Wilde
I
run great risk of failing. It may be that
I shall encounter ruin where I look for
reputation and a career of honor. The
chances are perhaps more in favour of ruin
than of success. But, whatever may be the
chances, I shall go on as long as any
means of carrying on the fight are at my
disposal. -- Anthony Trollope (1815-1882)
English Novelist
Resentment
is like drinking poison and waiting for
the other person to die. -- Carrie
Fisher
Nobody
grows old merely by living a number of
years. We grow old by deserting our
ideals. -- Samuel Ullman
If
you ever choose to go with your woman's
suggestion, even when deep in your heart
you feel that another decision is more
wise, you are in effect, saying, 'I don't
trust my own wisdom.' You are weakening
yourself by telling yourself this. You are
weakening your woman's trust in you. Why
should she trust your wisdom if you
don't." -- David Deida
