—Mignon McLaughlin (American Journalist)

Reason is not the sole basis of moral virtue in man. His social impulses are more deeply rooted than his rational life.
—Reinhold Niebuhr (American Protestant Theologian)

In moments of progress the noble succeed, because things are going their way: in moments of decadence the base succeed for the same reason: hence the world is never without the exhilaration of contemporary success.
—George Bernard Shaw (Irish Playwright)

One’s objective should be to get it right, get it quick, get it out, and get it over… your problem won’t improve with age.

A radical is one of whom people say ‘He goes too far.’ A conservative, on the other hand, is one ‘who doesn’t go far enough.’ Then there is the reactionary, ‘one who doesn’t go at all.’ All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term progressive.
—Woodrow Wilson (American Head of State)

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
—Steve Jobs (American Entrepreneur)

It is proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
