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

    Frances Hodgson Burnett
    “If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”
    Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

  • #3
    “We cannot control the way people interpret our ideas or thoughts, but we can control the words and tones we choose to convey them. Peace is built on understanding, and wars are built on misunderstandings. Never underestimate the power of a single word, and never recklessly throw around words. One wrong word, or misinterpreted word, can change the meaning of an entire sentence and start a war. And one right word, or one kind word, can grant you the heavens and open doors.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

    Chuck Palahniuk
    “The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”
    Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

    “A solid answer to everything is not necessary. Blurry concepts influence one to focus, but postulated clarity influences arrogance.”
    Criss Jami, Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile

  • #7
    Plato
    “The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.”
    Plato

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • #9
    Abraham Lincoln
    “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.”
    Abraham Lincoln

  • #10
    C.S. Lewis
    “As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.”
    C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
