His unscrupulous past and cynical opportunism were being largely forgotten or forgiven.

That is the point which should be uppermost in the minds of those who are working for the soldier.

Mark TwainLiving in a foreign country is one of those things that everyone should try at least once. My understanding was that it completed a person, sanding down the rough provincial edges and transforming you into a citizen of the world.

There would be a goal involved, and I like having goals.

Marisha PesslThe delicate muses lose their head if their attention is once diverted. Perhaps if you were successful abroad in talking and dealing with men, you would not come back to your bookshelf and your task.

The moth must fly to the lamp, and you must solve those questions though you die.

Milton FriedmanMalcolm X had a clear vision and an understanding that we were - that he was a part of a broad freedom struggle.
