How beautiful is death, when earn'd by virtue! Who would not be that youth? What pity is it That we can die but once to serve our country!Content thyself to be obscurely good. When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway, the post of honor is a private station.

Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719) English essayist, poet, & politician
It is folly for an eminent person to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected by it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.
Self discipline is that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.
True happiness... arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self.
What an absurd thing it is to pass over all the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attention on his infirmities.

Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719) English essayist, poet, & politician
A misery is not to be measured from the nature of the evil, but from the temper of the sufferer.
An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person
If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling.
If you wish success in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother and hope your guardian genius.

You haven’t achieved equality until you’re a legitimate target for humor.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Decisions are made by people who have time, not people who have talent.
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll buy a funny hat. Talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a consultant.
The best part about being my age is in knowing how my life worked out. Sure, there's a lot more living to go, but there isn't much doubt that I'll always be the 'Dilbert guy.' Unless I go on a crime spree, in which case I'll be 'that stabbin' Dilbert guy.'
Frankly, I’m suspicious of anyone who has a strong opinion on a complicated issue.
