We all should be! But these quotes are from a number of different people... He has just put them together in on list to illustrate his point! Here is another.
Law of motivation
Everything you do is triggered by inner desire, urges and instincts; many are subconscious.

I am convinced that a quasi-religous movement, one concerned with the need to change the values that now govern much of human activity is essential to the persistence of our civilisation. But agreeing that science, even the science of ecology, cannot answer all questions-that there are "other ways of knowing" - does not diminish the absolute critical role that good science must play if our over-extended civilisation is to save itself.

...Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave.
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
--Maya Angelou, Still I Rise

Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.

From Office Spaces comes the funniest._quote._ever._!
Bob Slydell: Milton Waddams.
Bill Lumbergh: Who's he?
Bob Porter: You know, squirrely looking guy, mumbles a lot.
Bill Lumbergh: Oh, yeah.
Bob Slydell: Yeah, we can't actually find a record of him being a current employee here.
Bob Porter: I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him, but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.
Bob Slydell: So we just went a ahead and fixed the glitch.
Bill Lumbergh: Great.
Dom Portwood: So um, Milton has been let go?
Bob Slydell: Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally.
Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem solved from your end.
