“What is happiness? The feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“A state of coupleness is attained when two people each feels that her/his number one priority is the happiness and contentment of the other”
Harris D Gulko
“Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.”
Dan Millman
“Maybe the weirdest thing in the world is the feeling when you feel sad and it feels like years although it was just mere seconds but when you feel happy and you want to stay there forever cuz you say it's too short although it was longer than you think it is”

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.”
“And oh, what a mercy it is that these women do not exercise their powers oftener! We can't resist them, if they do. Let them show ever so little inclination, and men go down on their knees at once: old or ugly, it is all the same. And this I set down as a positive truth. A woman with fair opportunities, and without an absolute hump, may marry whom she likes. Only let us be thankful that the darlings are like the beasts of the field, and don't know their own power. They would overcome us entirely if they did.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
