Beauty is something that burns the hand when you touch it.
-Yukio Mishima
Without an ever-present sense of death, life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
All the struggles of life are less dependent on circumstances and more on our
state of mind. This is the reason why "a resolute mind" is easily able to conquer
even the toughest of the problems.
-Deep Trivedi
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
-James Bovard

You must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does.
-Sri Chinmoy
How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.
-Benjamin Franklin
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
