Random Proverbs
To be successful one must make change an ongoing process. Quality is a race with not finish line. 
-- David T. Kearns
I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
-- George Bernard Shaw
The greatest wisdom doesn't know itself. The richest plan is not to have one.
-- Louise Erdrich
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I'm not one to judge. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human being.
-- Ann Landaus
Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. Antidotes are what you take to prevent dotes. A person who wraps into himself makes a small package Fairy tale: A horror story to prepare children for the newspapers. Four-word story of failure: Hired, tired, mired, fired. Compromise does not satisfy, but dissatisfies everybody; it does not lead to any general fulfillment, but to general frustration; those who try to become everything to all people end up by not being anything to anyone.
-- Ayn Rand
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone -- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. The principal conquests of the Romans were achieved under the republic; and the emperors, for the most part, were satisfied with preserving those dominions which had been acquired by the policy of the senate, the active emulation of the consuls, and the martial enthusiasm of the people.
-- Edward Gibbon
Habit never goes because if you remove H, Abit remains. If you remove A, Bit remains. If you remove B, It still remains. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
-- Henry David Thoreau
