Necessity, Abigail Adams

These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or in the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by the scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.

- Abigail Adams, in a letter to John Quincy Adams (19 January 1780)

Mankind, Douglas Adams

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

- Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See (1990)

Flowers, Henry Ward Beecher

Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.

- Henry Ward Beecher, Life Thoughts (1858), p. 234.

Wisdom, Marcel Proust
