A friend is someone who stays by your side all through the troubles he's caused you.

The length of your education is less important than its breadth, and the length of your life is less important than its depth.

Try square dancing-at least long enough to no longer feel silly and begin to have fun.

Be able to confide your innermost secrets to your mother and your innermost fears to your father.

Know where to find the sunrise and sunset times and note how the sky looks at those times, at least once.

Ultimately, our future is like a mirror. Whenever we face it, it always reflects what we left behind.

I think one of the problems [with raising intelligent children] is compulsory schooling...and that children are sitting there and they are taught and told what to believe. They are passive from the very beginning, and one must be very, very aggressive intellectually to have a high IQ [...] the child is taught. Right from the beginning, it's a passive process. He or she sits there, and they simply try to believe everything they're told.
