Oscar Wilde

William James

Let's drink to the spirit of gallantry and courage that made a strange Heaven out of unbelievable Hell, and let's drink to the hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness and peace again.
Noel Coward

Thomas Paine
Frustration, although quite painful at times, is a very positive and essential part of success.
Bo Bennett

Kristan Higgins
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles
