What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.
William Shakespeare
People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things - to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.
Zig Ziglar
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.
Mark Twain

Maya Angelou

Nelson Mandela
It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.
Ben Stein
It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
Albert Einstein
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Anne Frank
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
Mother Teresa
History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
C.S Lewis
I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie
War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.
Thomas Paine
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Oscar Wilde
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
Dalai Lama
Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.
Blaise Pascal
Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.
