Quotes & Proverbs

Some quotes I find useful, interesting, or inspiring.

  • "Dream in a pragmatic way." -Aldous Huxley
  • "Aim high." -Motto: United States of America Air Force; and Cranbrook Schools
    • After all, if you don't aim high, then you guarantee yourself that you will never reach your dreams. If you do aim high, though, then even though you may not reach your goals, you at least got as close to them as possible.
    • This jives with the Huxley quote above, in that you still need to strive for possible dreams, and that, along the way, each step should be a pragmatic one.
  • "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
  • "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." -proverb
  • "Waste not, want not." -proverb
  • "A stich in time saves nine." -proverb
  • "Measure seven times, cut once." -Ukrainian proverb
  • "Haste makes waste." -proverb
  • "Aim for perfection, expect improvement." -anonymous
  • "Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us." -Jerry Garcia

Stories

Some stories I have written. I have no pretensions about being an author or a professional fiction writer. I just really like the stories and think other people might as well.
