Henry David Thoreau
“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Alexis de Tocqueville
“I am unacquainted with His designs, but I shall not cease to believe in them because I cannot fathom them, and I had rather mistrust my own capacity than His justice”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Carl von Clausewitz
“The enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan.”
Prussian General Karl von Clausewitz, Vom Kriege, 1832

Carl von Clausewitz
“If the mind is to emerge unscathed from this relentless struggle with the unforeseen, two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.”
Carl Von Clausewitz, On War: Volume 1

Jack London
“Don't loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club.”
Jack London
