― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier.”
― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
