“Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don’t say that you’ve wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Without your wounds where would your power be? It is your melancholy that makes your low voice tremble into the hearts of men and women. The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and blundering children on earth as can one human being broken on the wheels of living. In Love’s service, only wounded soldiers can serve.” Thornton Wilder

“Your attitude determines your altitude in life.” Jack Nicklaus

“I suppose my best attribute, if you want to call it that, is sincerity. I can sell sincerity because that’s the way I am.” John Wayne

“We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.”  (Helen Keller)
