It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful, but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.” — Henry David Thoreau
“There are very few rules to improv, but one of the things I was taught early on is that you are not the most important person in the scene — everybody else is. And if everybody else is more important than you are, you will naturally pay attention to them and serve them. But the good news is you’re in the scene too, so hopefully to them you’re the most important person and they will serve you. No one is leading. You’re all following the follower, serving the servant. You cannot win improv. And life is an improvisation. You have no idea what’s going to happen next.” — Stephen Colbert

By the toil of others we are led into the presence of things which have been brought from darkness into light.” — Seneca
“Don’t just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind.

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them — work, family, health, friends and spirit — and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls — family, health, friends and spirit — are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.” — Brian Dyson
