Henry David Thoreau
I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances
confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the
life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in
common hours.


All art is but imitation of nature.
Seneca

By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of
others as it is to invent. R. Emerson

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn\'t
pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for,
protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Ronald Reagan
