| Rainer Maria Rilke Quote |
Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words. -- Rainer Maria Rilke

| Richard Buckminster Fuller Quote |
By and large, I seem to have made more mistakes than any others of whom I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions. -- Richard Buckminster Fuller

| Walt Whitman Quote |
I celebrate myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. -- Walt Whitman

I don't know what kind of weapons will be used in the third world war, assuming there will be a third world war. But I can tell you what the fourth world war will be fought with -- stone clubs. -- Albert Einstein

| Douglas Noel Adams Quote |
Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reason. -- Douglas Noel Adams

| Brooks Atkinson Quote |
We cheerfully assume that in some mystic way love conquers all, that good outweighs evil in the just balances of the universe and at the 11th hour something gloriously triumphant will prevent the worst before it happens. -- Brooks Atkinson
