Quotes to live by...

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

I'm not sure they're to live by, but two of my favorites are:

 

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." - Albert Einstein

 

"Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have a good one:

Re: Quotes to live by...

I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Most often two of these qualities come together. The officers who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Those who are stupid and lazy make up around 90% of every army in the world, and they can be used for routine work. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!
