The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.

No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.

The best speakers know enough to be scared…the only difference between the pros and the novices is that the pros have trained the butterflies to fly in formation.

I was greatly influenced by one of my teachers. She had a zeal not so much for perfection as for steady betterment-she demanded not excellence so much as integrity.

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.
