Greed: Black Border
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." -Winston Churchill
Not sure if it's meaningful to us as mankind but I find it a concise way to say a lot. Thank you, by the way!

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!"
- "Sherlock Holmes" Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Edit: just forgot to add the word "have" in the quote (I hope this doesn't disqualify me).

"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens." --Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind
I like this one by Carl Sagan:
"What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.", beautiful
By the way, the author I quoted has a ton of wonderful excerpts from his books that are both insightful and a joy to read. I'd post more if you want. Incidentally, the book where the quote was taken from is about a boy becoming gradually involved in a book's history and becoming embroiled in a noir-ish adventure. Just wonderful! :)

”Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
- Voltaire
“Many of life’s failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
- Thomas Edison
“In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
Also, I know it's a poem and not a quotation, but I've always found tremendously inspiring:
"If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain."
I Shall Not Live In Vain by Emily Dickinson
