Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.
Henrik Ibsen
It's such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string — when one slips off, all the rest follow.
Henrik Ibsen
The younger generation will come knocking at my door.
Henrik Ibsen
In great memories there lies the seed of growth.
Henrik Ibsen
Friends are to be feared, not so much for what they make us do as what they keep us from doing.
