Recently, driving in my car to my assignement I heard a commercial on the radio where they mentioned a quote from John Maynard Keynes (English economist, journalist, and financier, 1883-1946): "Ideas shape the course of history!"
I loved that quote as I'm full of ideas. Perhaps I can shape the course some day :)
This triggered me to search for a few other quotes:
G. Moore: "Everybody sets out to do something, and everybody does something, but no one does what he sets out to do."
B. Shaw (Caesar & Cleopatra (1898): "When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty."
J. Dryden (All for love (1976): "Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; he would search for pearls must dive below."
A. Tennyson: "Sweet is it have done the thing one ought."
John Updike (The Carp (1978): "An expert takes nothing personally. Nothing is even precisely his fault. If a bridge collapses or a war miscarries, he has already walked away. He still has his expertise."
