In the wild struggle ordsprog

en In the wild struggle for existance, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place.
  Oscar Wilde

en A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.

en Now, what I want is, facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!
  Charles Dickens

en I'm a huge fan of this wine. This place is so special it would be silly to change it. It's not about making more, it's about keeping it great.

en ABATIS, n. Rubbish in front of a fort, to prevent the rubbish outside from molesting the rubbish inside.
  Ambrose Bierce

en When such men, who are beyond hope and fear, begin in their dim minds to see the source their woes, it may be an evil time for those who have wronged them. The weak man becomes strong when he has nothing, for then only can he feel the wild, mad thrill of despair.
  Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

en I didn't consider it a struggle. I thought [the pitches] were pretty close. I was not wild and all over the place, like I've been in those sitiuations lots of times. But it was nice to be able to battle out of it, and nice to pick up a game on [the Yankees].

en A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the
