After a long time I came across a quote that provided me with a freshness in thought and real usefulness in life. It is the first one down here.

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than their minds. -- Will Durant

How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. -- Anne Frank

The best love affairs are those we never had. -- Norman Lindsay

There is no security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life and in change there is power. -- Alan Cohen

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well; is to enjoy it. -- Pearl S Buck

Is it so hard to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates and Jesus, Luther, Copernicus and Galileo, Newton and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Those who hate you don't win unless you hate them -- and then you destroy yourself.

Not failure but aiming low is the criminal.

There is only one success -- to be able to spend your life in your own way.

No one has ever loved anyone, the way everyone wants to be loved.

The misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.

If we had no faults we should not take so much pleasure in noticing them in others.
