"I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived."
Hermann Broch
"The University is a Mecca to which students come with something less than perfect faith. It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is know, but to question it."
Jacob Bronowski
"It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot, irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it."
Jacob Bronowski
"Tragedy is if I cut my finger, comedy is if I walk into an open sewer and die."
Mel Brooks
"Studies indicate that the one quality all successful people have is persistence. They're willing to spend more time accomplishing a task and to perservere in the face of many difficult odds. There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it."
Dr. Joyce
"A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person's brow."
Charles Hendrickson Brower
"He who dies a thousand deaths meets the final hour with the calmness of one who approaches a well remembered door."
Heywood Brown
"A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all."
Rita Mae Brown
"Where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valor to dare to live."
Sir Thomas Browne
"That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be enhanced only by greater sufferings; and if he should die at their hands, his virtue can go no further: it is heroic, it is perfect."
Jean de La Bruyère
"Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all of life's hazards, save one -- neglect."
James D. Bryden
"I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth."
William Frank Buckley, Jr.
"Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds."
Buddha
"Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely."
Buddha
"To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent."
Buddha
"Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death."
Buddha
"Man only of all earthly creatures, asks, Can the dead die forever? - and the instinct that urges the question is God's answer to man, for no instinct is given in vain."
Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton
"If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master."
Michelangelo Buonarroti
"If in the last few years you haven't discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse, you may be dead."
Frank Gelett Burgess
"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts."
Edmund Burke
