WORDS WAKEN THE WORLD
* * *
‘All it takes for bad to happen in the
world,
is for good people to stand by and do
nothing.’
* * *
"To be yourself, in a world that tries,
night and day, to make you just like
everybody else - is to fight the greatest
battle there ever is to fight, and never
stop fighting."
-
E. E. CUMMINGS
* * *
"Do not
be too timid and squeamish about
your actions. All life is an experiment. The
more
experiments you make the better. What if
they are a
little coarse, and you may get your coat
soiled or
torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly
rolled in
the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall
never be so afraid of a tumble."
-
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
* * *
"Only
those who will risk going too far can
possibly
find out how far one can go."
T. S. ELIOT
* * *
"The
young do not know enough to be prudent, and
therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve
it, generation after generation."
PEARL S. BUCK
* * *
"Do what you can, with what you have,
with where you are."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

"Don't let school
interfere with your education."
MARK TWAIN

"The
fact that an opinion has been widely
held is no evidence whatsoever that it is
not
entirely absurd; indeed in view of the
silliness
of the majority of mankind, a widespread
belief
is more likely to be foolish than sensible."
BERTRAND RUSSELL
* * *
"Keep
away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people always do that,
but the really great make you feel that you,
too, can become great."
MARK TWAIN
* * *
"Some
trees grow very tall and straight and large
in the forest close to each other, but some
must
stand by themselves or they won't grow at
all."
-
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
* * *
"If you stand straight do not fear a crooked
shadow."
CHINESE PROVERB
* * *
"Anyone
who has never made a mistake has
never tried anything new."

"Integrity has no need of rules."
ALBERT CAMUS

silent about things that matter."

still to think for yourself ...
ALOUD."
