My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger,

its vital
unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It

confuse. The
true with the false and the false with the true.
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so

and charm
it, and thereby always remain music.
-- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.

We are always too busy for our children; we never give them the time
or interest
they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them; but the most precious gift,
our personal
association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly.
-- Mark Twain
