This thing, what is it in itself, in its own constitution? What is its substance and material? And what its causal nature (or form)? And what is it doing in the world? And how long does it subsist? - Marcus Aurelius

Small disasters cause panic. Panic causes large disasters. -

Sergio Aragones, Groo the Wanderer

Take what you've got, and fly with it. - Jim Henson

That's 'cause I got people with me, people who trust each other, who do for each other and ain't always looking for the advantage.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wherever You Go, There You Are. - Buckaroo Banzai

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. - Edward Fitzgerald translation, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Learning without thought is labour lost,

Thought without learning is perilous. - Confucius
