"...life is never 'perfect'. There is always the work, the struggle, then the joy. ...Somehow, we have to learn to love the time of our life - - not what 'was' or what we hope 'will be' (although the looking back and ahead has it uses) but the 'now' we must enjoy by looking at the positive aspects of it and deliberately injecting a joy that eventually will become a true joy."
- Eileen Ebmeier, Letter to Her Son, February 25, 1986

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
- Michael Jordan

"Success tends to go not to the person who is error-free, because he also tends to be risk-averse. Rather it goes to the person who recognizes that life is pretty much a percentage business. It isn't making mistakes that's critical; it's correcting them and getting on with the principal task."

"To be sure, the doctrine of a personal God interfering with natural events could never be refuted, in the real sense, by science, for this doctrine can always take refuge in those domains in which scientific knowledge has not yet been able to set foot. But I am persuaded that such behavior on the part of the representatives of religion would not only be unworthy but also fatal. For a doctrine which is able to maintain itself not in clear light, but only in the dark, will of necessity lose its effect on mankind, with incalculable harm to human progress."
- Albert Einstein (Christian)

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been."

"There is nothing so consistently dangerous, not to mention more likely to mess with yourhead and leave you muttering into your beer, than playing it safe. Of course, I could be wrong."
