All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of
times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again
honestly, until they take firm root in our personal experience. -
Johann Wolfgang van Goethe "I owe all my success in life to having
been always a quarter of an hour before my time." - Lord Nelson "If
I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read
some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week for
perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would have thus been
kept active through use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of
happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more
probably to the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part
of our nature." - Charles Robert Darwin "Life is a long lesson in
humility." - James M. Barrie
