- The Cremation of Sam McGee
There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights. But the queerest they ever did see, was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee.
Shakespeare
- Advice of Polonius (Part 3)
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Shakespeare
- Advice of Polonius (Part 2)
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice. Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, but not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy; for the apparel oft proclaims the man, and they in France of the best rank and station are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Shakespeare
- Advice of Polonius
And these few precepts in thy memory see thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; but do not dull thy palm with entertainment of each new hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, bear it that the opposed may beware of thee.
Bruce Lee
- Bruce Lee on Belts
I don't have any belt whatsoever. That is just a certificate. Unless you can really do it - that is, defend yourself successfully in a fight - that belt doesn't mean anything. I think it might be useful to hold your pants up, but that's about it...

- Western Democracy
What in fact takes place in an election is that two hand picked candidates are propped up before the citizenry, each candidate having been selected by a very small group of politically active people. A minority of the people... then elects one of these hand picked people to rule itself and the majority.

- Getting What You Want: The Seven Principles of Rational Living
Base your actions on truth. Focus on value, not entitlements. Make choices with civility, dignity, honesty and humility. Avoid those who drain your personal resources. Rid yourself of major encumbrances. Develop the self-discipline to act on intellect rather than impulse. Learn from bad breaks, and move on.
