“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Mark Twain
“Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.”
Tennessee Williams
“Don't listen to friends when the Friend inside you says 'Do this.'”
Mahatma Gandhi
“The only guide to man is his conscience; the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with this shield, however the fates may play, we march always in the ranks of honor.”
Winston Churchill
“Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.”
Anais Nin
“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
Richard Dawkins
“Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.”
Karl Barth
