  • 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
