"Lay your hand on him; remember the battle -- you will do no more.
Notice, any hope of overcoming him is in vain;
shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up." -- Job 41:8-10

"In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Be thou my strong habitation whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous cruel man.
For thou art my hope, O Lord, GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge." -- Pslam 71

"Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonorable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates;
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings." -- Shakepseare, Julius Caesar

"Face this world. Learn its ways, watch it, be careful of too hasty guesses at its meaning. In the end you will find clues to it all." -- H.G. Wells, The Time Machine

"So forever in the future,
Shall I battle as of yore,
Dying to be born a fighter,
But to die again once more." -- George S. Patton, Through A Glass Darkly

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -- The Man in the Arena, Theodore Roosevelt

"People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." -- Isaac Asimov
