We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible.

Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the rose, with sweets in every fold.

Carve every word before you let it fall.

Eloquence may set fire to reason.

Three generations of imbeciles are enough.

Where we stand is not as important as the direction in which we are moving.

Be willing to commit yourself to a course, perhaps a long and hard one, without being able to foresee exactly where you will come out.
