Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses it's purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind. Leonardo da Vinci
OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

Meanwhile, go ahead and browse through some of the quotations I've posted. There are thousands of places you can go on the web for quotes. These are handpicked by me almost everyday. There's no real order or format. I do have them labeled though. The labels are shown on the side bar below. You can also use the search box using any keyword you can think of or an author's name. For me, searching and reading these maxims, axioms, sayings, and proverbs always provokes thought. And that's all I have to say about that.
