Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.

Pope Francis

To be born as a human being is a rare thing, something to be grateful for. But being born as a human being is worthless if you spend your whole life in a mental hospital. It is worthless if you worry about not having money. It is worthless if you become neurotic because you cannot get a prestigious job. It is worthless if you weep because you lose your girlfriend.

Kodo Sawaki

If worthless men are sometimes at the head of affairs, it is, I believe, because worthless men are at the tail and the middle

I have become increasingly convinced that the past records of mutual fund managers are essentially worthless in predicting future success. The few examples of consistently superior performance occur no more frequently than can be expected by chance.

Burton Malkiel

My dear soul, flee from the worthless, stay close only to those with a pure heart. Like attracts like. A crow will lead you to the graveyard, a parrot to a lump of sugar.

The sorrow which calls for help and comfort is not the greatest, nor does it come from the depths of the heart.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

Faith is indeed the energy of our whole universe directed to the highest form of being. Faith gives stability to our view of the universe. By faith we are convinced that our impressions of things without are not dreams or delusions, but, for us, true representations of our environment. By faith we are convinced that the signs of permanence, order, progress, which we observe in nature are true. By faith we are convinced that fellowship is possible with our fellow man and with God.

Brooke Westcott

I am more and more convinced, of the propensity in human nature to tyranize over their fellow men.

Mercy Otis Warren

Better let it all alone in the depths of her heart and the depths of the sea.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

In my experience, with very few exceptions - I am, as it happens, one of the exceptions - the one thing that most editors don't want to do is edit. It's not nearly as conducive to a successful career as having lunch out with important agents or going to meetings where you get noticed.
