The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
Henry David Thoreau
Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces.
Henry David Thoreau
The bluebird carries the sky on his back.
Henry David Thoreau
There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.
Henry David Thoreau
Only he is successful in his business who makes that pursuit which affords him the highest pleasure sustain him.
Henry David Thoreau
It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.
Lao Tzu
The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
Lao Tzu
One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.
Lao Tzu
A man should never neglect his family for business.
Walt Disney
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a Free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it.
George Washington
It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
George Washington
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
Aristotle
There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.
Sam Walton
An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.
Ernest Hemingway
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.
Walt Disney
A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.
Erma Bombeck
A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.
Niccolo Machiavelli
If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul.
Khalil Gibran
A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.
Theodore Roosevelt
