Guy Davenport

Because people are afraid of fear, they give up acre after acre of their own life.

Peter McWilliams

I hope you're as lucky as I am. The world needs inventors--great ones. You can be one. If you love what you do and are willing to do what it really takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise.

Steve Wozniak

The promise to the Church is a promise of persecution, if faithful in this world, but a promise of a great inheritance and reward hereafter.

C. I. Scofield

Charlie Baker

Lady Gaga

The whole world is not worth one soul.

Saint Francis de Sales

I promise to question everything my leaders tell me. I promise to use my critical faculties. I promise to develop my independence of thought. I promise to educate myself so I can make my own judgments.

Carl Sagan

The power to distinguish between person and performance and to communicate intrinsic worth flows naturally out of our own sense of intrinsic worth.

Stephen Covey

Performance should be made square with promise.

Theodore Roosevelt

An acre of windy prairie could produce between $4,000 and 10,000 worth of electricity per year - which is far more than the value of the land's crop of corn or wheat.
