It's 5:45 am and I haven't been able to fall asleep yet so here are some quotes.

If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.
Charles Schulz

I always feel like a goofy little kid.
Julia Stiles

Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; and love by love.
Thomas Szasz

In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be defined.-
Thomas Szasz

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
Charles R. Swindoll

The secret of living a life of excellence is merely a matter of thinking thoughts of excellence. Really, it's a matter of programming our minds with the kind of information that will set us free.
Charles R. Swindoll

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
Charles R. Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."-Charles Swindoll

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.-
Henri Frederic Amiel

What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.-
Henri Frederic Amiel

Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.-
Diane Arbus

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.-
Aristotle

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
Aristotle

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Aristotle
