One who does less than he can is a thief

Ghandi

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Royce Gracie - Jiu-jitsu master




Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Sydney J. Harris




I mean, we're only human beings -- and what's a human being? A weak, ugly, sinful creature, born that way, rotten in his bones -- so humility is the one virtue he ought to practice. He ought to spend his life on his knees, begging to be forgiven for his dirty existence. When a man thinks he's good -- that's when he's rotten. Pride is the worst of all sins, no matter what he's done.

Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand




The best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

Indira Gandhi




We're not rockstars. With all the money we've made, We've given it to other bands that we like to get started with a record label. Personally, I've invested in purchasing a house for my family, and with the rest of the money, I'll probably buy myself a pair of new shoes.

Kurt Cobain, after being asked what Nirvana plans to spend their money on.




You have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Jimi Hendrix




Yeah I do want to have kids someday and I would show them everything. I wouldn't hold anything back from them. I think if you show kids reality and stop trying to protect them from it, then they can handle it.

Marilyn Manson




A good education is not so much one which prepares a man to succeed in the world, as one which enables him to sustain a failure.

Bernard Iddings Bell Chaplain, University of Chicago




He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)




Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

B. F. Skinner




You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)




A college degree does not lessen the length of your ears; it only conceals it.

Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)




The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end...

Blessed Union of Souls, Hey Leonardo
