Crime and punishment grow out of one stem.

People only see what they are prepared to see.

Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well.

There is no history; only biography.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

You think that your silence on certain topics, perhaps in the face of injustice, or unkindness, or mean-spiritedness, causes others to reserve judgement of you. Far otherwise; your silence utters very loud: you have no oracle to speak, no wisdom to offer, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them. Doth not wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice? We would be well to do likewise.

What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
