Mark Twain
“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.”
Mark Twain

Henry Adams
“No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.”
Henry Adams, The Education of Henry Adams

C.S. Lewis
“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis

William  James
“A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.”
William James

Pope John Paul II
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.

It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
Pope John Paul II
