"Press on, then, to the finish. Cast away vain hopes, and if you have any regard at all for self, see to your own security while still you may." -Marcus Aurelius


From the philosopher-emperor's Meditations, this summation is part of a long reflection on the mortality of man. After laying out the groundwork of his stoic philosophy, Aurelius concludes: "Even men who deny the gods or betray their country or perpetrate all manner of villainy behind locked doors have minds to guide them to the clear path of duty. Seeing, then, that all else is the common heritage of such types, the good man's only singularity lies in his approving welcome to every experience the looms of fate may weave for him."

"It will always work against you to demoralize your employees in any way." -Donald Trump

[Langford]

"It will always work against you to demoralize your employees in any way." -Donald Trump

For some reason, my bosses can't seem to grasp that concept...they think that keeping us on edge by letting us know that we are replaceable all of the time will make us better workers.  It's sad to see how little management knows about managing sometimes...

"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." -Abraham Lincoln

"What a woman most admires in a man is distinction among men. What a man most admires in a woman is devotion to himself." -Ambrose Bierce


Bierce is perhaps most remembered for The Devil's Dictionary, a witty series of faux definitions that got its start in a weekly newspaper. This line is from "Epigrams of a Cynic," which appears in the 1912 book A Cynic Looks at Life .

"People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors. " -Edmund Burke


The Irish-born English statesman and politician is today considered the father of conservatism, despite the term not being in existence in his time. During the uproar in the American colonies over the tea duty, Burke made impassioned speeches defending the colonies' rebellion and urging the Crown to repeal the tax, arguing with foresight, "If [English] sovereignty and their freedom, cannot be reconciled, which will they take?"

"Love and let go" is an airy-fairy statement but it's a deep concept when you realize that people come and go and this is a mortal existence." -Juliette Lewis


Actress Juliette Lewis has appeared in over 40 feature-length films since she first began acting in 1987 as a 14-year-old. She received her only Oscar nomination, a Best Supporting Actress nod, for her role in 1991's Cape Fear. Now in her mid-30s, she continues to act but has for the last few years been fronting Juliette and the Licks, a post-punk band in which Lewis is lead singer.

"An intelligent woman is a woman with whom one can be as stupid as one wants." -Paul Valery


Valery, part of the French Symbolist movement of the early 20th century, published in a variety of genres and disciplines, but his intellectual diary, known as the Cahiers (Notebooks), is arguably his most distinctive achievement. Valery spent the first couple hours of every morning writing in the Cahiers, attempting to quantify mental function in mathematical terms and to find a unifying "theory of consciousness" similar to the contemporary breakthroughs in physics, mathematics and biology.
