Harry Truman
“The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.”
― Harry S. Truman

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mortimer J. Adler
“The complexities of adult life get in the way of the truth. The great philosophers have always been able to clear away the complexities and see simple distinctions - simple once they are stated, vastly difficult before. If we are to follow them we too must be childishly simple in our questions - and maturely wise in our replies..”
― Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading

Mark Twain
“I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”
― Mark Twain

Marcus Aurelius
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
