More inspiring quotes

View of Whiteshill from Randwick
Periodically we add a collection of quotes that took our fancy....here are a few more:

"Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living." Anais Nin

"You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!" Steven Spielberg

"Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness." William E. Gladstone

"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." Joseph Addison

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson 1802

"I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master, I want the full menu of rights. If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." Archbishop Desmond Tutu, South Africa
