“Education, n. That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.”

Robert Reich (1946 - ):

“It turns out that what money buys has rapidly diminishing emotional returns ... As long as we're not destitute, happiness depends less on getting what we want than appreciating what we already have.”

“Figure out for yourself what you want to be really good at, know that you'll never really satisfy yourself that you've made it, and accept that that's okay.”

Mick Fleetwood (1947 - ):

“To me, the blues is an infection. I don't think it's necessarily a melancholy thing; the blues can be really positive and I think I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always a woeful, sorrowful thing. It's more reflective; it reminds you to feel.”

Mercedes Lackey (1950 - ):

“If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.”
