  1. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: I’ve decided to stop caring about things. If you care, you just get disappointed all the time. If you don’t care, nothing matters, so you’re never upset. From now on, my rallying cry is, “So what?!”
       HOBBES: That’s a tough cry to rally around.
       CALVIN: So what?!

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1993-01-02)

  5. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Prudence operates on life in the same manner as rules on composition: it produces vigilance rather than elevation, rather prevents loss than procures advantage; and often escapes miscarriages but seldom reaches either power or honor. It quenches that ardor of enterprise by which every thing is done that can claim praise or admiration; and represses that generous temerity which often fails and often succeeds. Rules may obviate faults, but can never confer beauties; and prudence keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1759-05-19), The Idler, No. 57
