To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

 
Mary Oliver
 

For it all depends on how we look at things, and not on how they are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

 
Carl Jung

To entrust to chance what is greatest and most noble would be a very defective arrangement.

 
Aristotle
 

Thought and speech are of a thinking and speaking subject, and if the life of the latter depends on the performance of a superimposed function, it depends on fulfilling the requirements of this function — thus it depends on those who control these requirements.

 
Herbert Marcuse
 

Success depends on three things: who says it, what he says, how he says it; and of these three things, what he says is the least important.
