  9. A quotation from Joseph Addison

       If men of eminence are exposed to censure on one hand, they are as much liable to flattery on the other. If they receive reproaches which are not due to them, they likewise receive praises which they do not deserve. In a word, the man in a high post is never regarded with an indifferent eye, but always considered as a friend or an enemy. For this reason persons in great stations have seldom their true characters drawn till several years after their deaths. Their personal friendships and enmities must cease, and the parties they were engaged in be at an end, before their faults or their virtues can have justice done them. When writers have the least opportunity of knowing the truth, they are in the best disposition to tell it.
       It is therefore the privilege of posterity to adjust the characters of illustrious persons, and to set matters right between those antagonists who by their rivalry for greatness divided a whole age into factions.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101

  10. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart — the best brain. Superiority is born of honesty, of virtue, of charity, and above all, of the love of liberty. The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Speech (1883-10-22), “Liberty,” Address on the Civil Rights Act, Lincoln Hall, Washington, D. C.

  12. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    We must never delude ourselves into thinking that physical power is a substitute for moral power, which is the true sign of national greatness.

    Speech (1952-09-18), “The Atomic Future,” Bushnell Memorial Auditorium, Hartford, Connecticut

  19. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

  24. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But there is a higher order of men so inspired with ardour, and so fortified with resolution, that the world passes before them without influence or regard: these ought to consider themselves as appointed the guardians of mankind: they are placed in an evil world, to exhibit publick examples of good life; and may be said, when they withdraw to solitude, to desert the station which Providence assigned them.

    NURSE:                             But not long

       οὐδένα καιρὸν δύναται θνητοῖς,

  33. There will always be someone that complains. Always someone that is unhappy with everything you say or do. You will always encounter the worst in many that walk this Earth, yet. On the other side of things. Hey, glass half full. Focus on the positive. Power of the mind is everything. Don't let someone's misery become yours.
