Great designers seldom make great advertising men, because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold. James Randolph Adams
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid ... Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and perceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and last some crisis shows what we have become. Brooke Foss Westcott
Men whose spirit has grown arrogant from the great favor of fortune have this most serious fault—those whom they have injured they also hate. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
