With knowledge there is no hope,... without hope I would sit motionless, rusting like unused armor.

Intentions, good or bad, are not enough. There's luck or fate or something else that takes over.

A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody.

The great companies did not know that the line between hunger and anger is a thin line.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. Change may be announced by a small ache, so that you think you're catching cold. Or you may feel a faint disgust for something you loved yesterday. It may even take the form of a hunger that peanuts won't satisfy. Isn't overeating said to be one of the strongest symptoms of discontent. And isn't discontent the lever of change?

It is the nature of a person as he/she grows older to protest against change, particularly changes for the better.

I have named the destroyers of nations: comfort, plenty, and security - out of which grow a bored and slothful cynicism, in which rebellion against the world as it is, and myself as I am, are submerged in listless self-satisfaction.
