This afternoon, I was sifting through 19 years of blog posts to assemble all those that mustered groups of quotes on various topics -- friends, design, writing, advertising, loneliness, purpose, etc.-- or by various people -- Twain, Goethe, Dave Barry, etc.
I came across a few sets that I've yet to publish, hence the seven pearls you can ponder here.

– Goethe
“Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.”
— Marilyn Vos Savant

– Mark Houlahan
“The harder you work, the luckier you get.”

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

"Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there."
