For where is the man that has incontestable evidence of the truth of all that he holds, or of the falsehood of all he condemns; or can say that he has examined to the bottom all his own, or other men's opinions?

John Locke

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. Albert Camus
Charles Francis Adams was singular for mental poise? absence of self-assertion or self-consciousness? the faculty of standing apart without seeming aware that he was alone? a balance of mind and temper that neither challenged nor avoided notice, nor admitted question of superiority or inferiority, of jealousy, of personal motives, from any source, even under great pressure. Henry B. Adams
George Ade quote: "Anybody can win - unless there happens to be a second entry."
Anybody can win - unless there happens to be a second entry. George Ade
We might not know we are seeking people who best enrich our lives, but somehow on a deep subconscious level we absolutely are. Whether the bond is temporary or permanent, whether it succeeds or fails, fate is simply a configuration of choices that combine with others to shape the relationships that surround us. We cannot choose our family, but we can choose our friends, and we sometimes, before we even meet them. Simon Pegg
