Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

George Bernard Shaw

To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom...Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Every experience is a stitch in the fabric of your character.

Gary Clausing
