“I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past."
-Clara Barton

Facts are stubborn things.
-Ronald Reagan

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
-C. S. Lewis

Wit is educated insolence.
Aristotle

Francis Bacon

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
Winston Churchill

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill

Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
Winston Churchill

I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.
Winston Churchill

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.
Christopher Morley

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen
