Quotes
“…What the fool cannot learn, he laughs at, thinking that by his laughter he shows superiority instead of latent idiocy.” – The Life Everlasting by Marie Corelli
“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”-Emerson (Self-Reliance 1841)
Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. -Calvin Cooliage
“Society – where you go when you lose your voice.”
” I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen, not only because I see it but by it I see eveything else.”
C.S. Lewis
“Envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide.”-Emerson
“People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.” ~Lewis Cass
“show me your friends, and ill show you what kind of person you are”
“Pain is weakness leaving the body”
“The opposite of Love is Indifference”
“Here the ways of men part: If you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire…”
-Nietzsche
“Anything worth having is worth working for”
” God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I Cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference”
“Who you are is who you decide to be at every moment of your waking life.” -MST
“Great minds have purposes, others have wishes”
-Washington Irving
About Me
My Personal Creed: I strive to be as genuine as possible. To do right in the midst of adversity. To be a gentlemen and a leader. To expect success and embrace responsibility. To keep an eternal perspective on the good things unseen, and be wary of being caught up in tangible, short lived things of this world. To have an eye for beauty and goodness; a heart for people. -MT
I believe strongly in Morals, Virtues, sound Values, Integrity and a good Character. I think they are the foundation for a Noble life and are worth the hardships to maintain them.
I expect the best from myself and this life. Anything else I can live without. I’ve thrown off the dregs that ensnare so many people in this world to be free to act according to my dreams as long as I’m willing to pay for it.
