Ladies of the Night

The difference between a lady and a flower girl

is not how she behaves, but how she's treated.

George Bernard Shaw

Progress over Perfection

Continuous improvement is better

than delayed perfection.

Mark Twain

Creativity is intelligence having fun.

Albert Einstein

Life is a constant struggle, much like a wrestling

match, and our success lies in how well we

navigate the unexpected twists and turns.

Marcus Aurelius

I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success,

but I can give you a formula for failure:

try to please everybody all the time.

Herbert Bayard Swope

There is no greatness where there is no

simplicity, goodness and truth.

Leo Tolstoy

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit.

Aristotle

The two most powerful warriors

are patience and time.

Leo Tolstoy

Change is the only constant in life.

Ones ability to adapt to those changes

will determine your success in life.

Benjamin Franklin

I've decided to be happy because

it's good for my health.

Voltaire

If I had no humor I should long ago

have committed suicide.

Mahatma Gandhi

Your direction is more important

than your speed.

Richard L. Evans

Success consists of stumbling from failure

to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill

There is a crack in everything,

that's how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen

Failure is success in progress.

Albert Einstein

Those who know, do.

Those that understand, teach.

Aristotle

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained

not by its growth, but by washing away

from it all that is not gold.

Leo Tolstoy

I learned through my body and soul that it was

necessary to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to

strive for property and experience nausea and

the depths of despair in order to learn not to

resist them, in order to learn to love the world,

and no longer compare it with some kind of

desired imaginary vision of perfection, but

to leave it as it is, to love it

and be glad to belong to it.

Hermann Hesse

Mean Girls

Most people abuse power.

They use power to dominate others.

They use power to destroy others.

Ultimately, when you do this, you lose it.

Frederick Lenz

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by

the endurance of those whom they oppress.

Frederick Douglass

People seem good while they are oppressed,

but they only wish to become oppressors in

their turn: life is nothing but a competition

to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Bertrand Russell

The greatest evil perpetrated is the evil

committed by nobodies, that is, by

human beings who refuse to be persons.

Hannah Arendt

Power is never the property of an individual;

it belongs to a group and remains in existence

only so long as the group keeps together.

Hannah Arendt

The individual has always had to struggle

to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.

If you try it, you will be lonely often,

and sometimes frightened. But no price

is too high to pay for the privilege

of owning yourself.

Rudyard Kipling
