J. Michael Straczynski, Babylon 5 (Television Series)
There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender.

Elbert Hubbard
The greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making one.

John F. Kennedy, in a speech on May 25, 1961
I believe this nation should commit itself, to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.

Ovid, Heorides (c. 10 BC)
The result justifies the deed. (Exitus acta probat)

Lois McMaster Bujold
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.

Daisaku Ikeda
You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.

Havelock Ellis
Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.

Albert Camus
It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature.

Benjamin Franklin
Lost time is never found again.
= = = = = = = = = =
Benjamin Disraeli
When we would prepare the mind by a forcible appeal, an opening quotation is a symphony preluding on the chords those tones we are about to harmonize.

Oscar Fingall O\'Flahertie Wills Wilde
I am not young enough to know everything.
= = = = = = = = = =
Sir Arthur Eddington
Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.
