ANAIS NIN:

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.

Dreams are necessary to life.

MAYA ANGELOU:

Achievement brings its own anticlimax.

All great achievements require time.

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

ARISTOTLE:

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.

Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
