Just some of my favorite quotes:
"I no doubt deserve my enemies, but I don't believe that I deserve any of my friends." Walt Whitman
"Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone." Horace
"Rarely do great beauty and virtue dwell together. To find both intertwined is but the rarest of jewels." Francesco Petrach
"Almost all our faults are more easily pardoned than the methods we use to hide them." Francois De La Rochefoucauld
"It is strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggles for breath, so the lover struggles for words." T.S. Eliot
"In her first passion, woman loves her lover, in all others following all she loves is love." Lord Byron
"Learn to self conquest. Persevere for a time and you will perceive very clearly the advantage which you gain from it." Mother Theresa
"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; Kindness in your face; Kindness in your eyes; Kindness in your smile." Mother Theresa
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each man's life enough sorrow and suffering to disarm our hostility." Longfellow

I love these quotes. What is revealed in them that makes them so unique is thought. Thought is so very rare. We spend most of our days reacting. We react to others words, emails, ads, videos, TV, the computer, our family, our boss, our customers, horns, lights, on & on. It is rare for us to actually be still and think. These people actually wrote down the product of thought. Profound!
