• Shake off those gloomy feelings. Drive them away. Fix your mind and pleasures upon what is before you.All is bright if you will think it so. All is happy if you will make it so. Do not dream. It is too ideal, too imaginary. Dreaming by day, I mean. Live in the world you inhabit. Look upon things as they are. Take them as you find them. Make the best of them. Turn them to your advantage.

• Good science requires distinguishing between "felt knowledge" and knowledge arising out of testable observations. "I am sure" is a mental sensation, not a testable conclusion.

• I had to get over [him]. For months now, a stone had been sitting on my heart. I'd shed a lot of tears over [him], lost a lot of sleep, eaten a lot of cake batter. Somehow, I had to move on. [Life] would be hell if I didn't shake loose from the grip he had on my heart. I most definitely didn't want to keep feeling this way, alone in a love affair meant for two. Even if he'd felt like The One. Even if I'd always thought we'd end up together. Even if he still had a choke chain on my heart.

  Kristan Higgins

• You know them days you just got the blues,
  All stressed and depressed from just watchin' the news?
  No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed.
  Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in the mood.
  Shake that attitude and do what you can,
  Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans.
  Time waits for no man and tomorrow's not promised,
  So if she's still alive, shoot a call to your mama.
  Cause the fighting and the drama, it's just not worth it,
  Nobody's perfect, ain't none of us worthless.
  We all got a place, and we all got a purpose.

• Shrewd and crafty politicians, when they wish to bring about an unpopular measure, must not go straight forward to work, if they do they will certainly fail; and failures to men in power, are like defeats to a general, they shake their popularity. Therefore, since they cannot sail in the teeth of the wind, they must tack, and ultimately gain their object, by appearing at times to be departing from it.
