Let’s break up the work week.
Share one of your favorite quotes with us. It could be from a movie, poem, song or even something you wrote.
I’ll start with one I wrote earlier on my Twitter page:
“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer. ~Albert Einstein.”

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.” – Ayn Rand

You cannot educate a man wholly out of the superstitious fears which were implanted in his imagination,no matter how utterly his reason may reject them.” ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., "The Poet at the Breakfast Table," 1872

"I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living."- Harry Nilsson
