Alfred North Whitehead

The vigour of civilised societies is preserved by the widespread sense that high aims are worth while. Vigorous societies harbour a certain extravagance of objectives, so that men wander beyond the safe provision of personal gratifications. All strong interests easily become impersonal, the love of a good job well done. There is a sense of harmony about such an accomplishment, the Peace brought by something worth while. Such personal gratification arises from aim beyond personality.

Alfred North Whitehead

The vitality of thought is in adventure. Idea's won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervour, live for it, and, if need be, die for it. Their inheritors receive the idea, perhaps now strong and successful, but without inheriting the fervour; so the idea settles down to a comfortable middle age, turns senile, and dies.

Nick Rimando

Brian can cover so much of the field, ... He's very calm out there. He plays hard, but he doesn't have that anger to him. That's who he is. He's a quiet person off the field, but when it comes game time, he wants to win more than anybody else.

Plutarch

No beast is more savage than man when possessed with power answerable to his rage.

Mickey Kaus

I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.

Mother Teresa

Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.

Mother Teresa

Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.

Marcus Aurelius

In the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.
