A collection of quotes I find on Tumblr.

It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English — up to fifty words used in correct context — no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.

I’m a simple man. I like pretty dark haired women & breakfast food.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

—	Winston S. Churchill (via quote-book) (via superheroickk)

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

“

—	Harriet Beecher Stowe (via obiwanthekenobi) (via figuremeout) (via anyexcusetogetcloser)

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley

I have a sadness shield that keeps out all the sadness. It’s big enough for all of us.
