Soren Kierkegaard


The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer


Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

A great man is always willing to be little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.
