For a little while now I have been skimming across Paul Graham's site and the gems he has collected over there along with his essays make for a sumptuous treat.
"The less confident you are, the more serious you have to act."
- Tara Ploughman
"The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
- Brandeis
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
- Yeats, The Second Coming
"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about."
- Einstein
"We're even wrong about which mistakes we're making."
- Carl Winfeld
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
- Mark Twain
Sometimes it just gets pertinent to step back a little and look at things with a different lens to get a whole new, and may be, a better view!
