I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather....In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or is dehumanized.

The greatest joy of a thinking man is to have searched the explored and to quietly revere the unexplored.

I laugh at my heart, and do its will

Hope is the second soul of the unhappy.

Mankind? That is an abstraction. There have always been and always will be only individuals.

The world is full of contradiction.

Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
