1) Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries. Only in proportion as we are desirous of living do we really live. -Ortega

2) We are not to make the ideas of contentment and aspiration quarrel, for God made them fast friends. A man may aspire, and yet be quite content until it is time to rise; and both flying and resting are but parts of one contentment. The very fruit of the gospel is aspiration. It is to the heart what spring is to the earth, making every root, and bud, and bough desire to be more. -H.W. Beecher

3) Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love truth. -Joubert

4) I am suffocated and lost when I have not the bright feeling of progression. -Margaret Fuller

5) Edward Gibbon, in 1788 set forth in his famous book, “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”, five basic reasons why that great civilization withered and died: 1) The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis for human society. 2) Higher and higher taxes: the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace. 3) The mad craze for pleasure, with sports and plays becoming more exciting, more brutal, and more immoral. 4) The building of great armaments when the real enemy was within the decay of individual responsibility. 5) The decay of religion, whose leaders lost their touch with life, and their power to guide the people. -Unknown

6) How do we know but that the interruption we snarl at is the most blessed thing that has come to us in long days? -Anna R. Lindsay

7) The Wonderful Paradox: I have more fun and enjoy more financial success when I stop trying to get what I want and start helping other people get what they want. -Spencer Johnson & Larry Wilson, in The One Minute Sales Person

8) Explore your higher latitudes…be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, open new channels, not of trade but of thought. -Thoreau

9) No other success can compensate for failure in the home. -McKay

10) There is no chance and no anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every God is there sitting in his sphere. The young mortal enters the hall of the firmament; there is he alone with them alone, they pouring on him benedictions and gifts, and beckoning him up to their thrones. On the instant, and incessantly, fall snowstorms of illusions. He fancies himself in a vast crowd which sways this way and that and whose movement and doings he must obey: he fancies himself poor, orphaned, insignificant. The mad crowd drives hither and thither, now furiously commanding this thing to be done, now that. What is he that should resist their will, and think or act for himself? Every moment new changes and new showers of deception to baffle and distract him. But when, by and by, for an instant, the air clears and the clouds lift a little, there are the gods still sitting around him on their thrones, they alone with him alone. -Emerson
