I choose not to be a common man. Me, it's my right to be uncommon if I can. I'll seek opportunity, not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen--humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I'll refuse to live from hand to mouth. I'll prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence. The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any friend. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself and face the world boldly and say, This I have done.

Life can only be understood backwards; it has to be lived forwards.

Listen to the exhortation of the dawn

Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and realities of your existence; The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendor of beauty; For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well lived, makes Every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day!

-- Passage from the Sanskrit

Life is a mission. Every other definition is false, and leads all who accept it astray.

-- Guiseppe Mazzini

You ought to be afraid to die until you've contributed something great back to humanity.

-- Oliver Wendell Holmes
