Here are just a few quotes that I have lying around. Thought it would be useful to dispense of them and let others gain whatever wisdom they seem to impart.
"It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write. " – Sinclair Lewis
"I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen." – John Steinbeck
"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." - C.S. Lewis
"The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government." – Thomas Paine
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." – Thomas Paine
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." – Benjamin Franklin
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." – Benjamin Franklin
"A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer." - George MacDonald
"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." – Charles Dickens
Then of courese my own self-induglent reference.
"The belief that intelligence equals omniscience is a true sign of ignorance" - E.W. Lewis
Your indulgent quote reminds me of a geeky Star Trek quote: "Believing oneself to be perfect is often a sign of a delusional mind" - Lt. Commander Data :-)
