He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-Benjamin Franklin
The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present.
-Alan Lightman
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
-Theodore Roosevelt
