"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." - Albert Einstein.
"The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle. The roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other." - Douglas MacArthur. (Dedicated to the person who quoted MacArthur to me today. Thank you. You made my minute.)
Success
"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."
BESSIE STANLEY
"The past is a collection of mistakes and successes, upon either of which it is useless to dwell. Its only use is as a guidebook for the present, so we don't publish a sequel in the future."
