Famous Quotes - Standards

[Stanley Liszewski]

anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. 
Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself - and be 
lenient to everybody else.

Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow 
will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a 
level with yourself.

The twilight, in fact, had several stages, and several times 
after it had grown dusky, acquired a new transparency, 
and the trees on the hillsides were lit up again.
 
      Henry David Thoreau
