“Cultivate your own capabilities, your own style. Appreciate the members of your family for who they are, even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours. Rabbits don't fly. Eagles don't swim. Ducks look funny trying to climb. Squirrels don't have feathers. Stop comparing. There's plenty of room in the forest.”
“Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.”
“I will not allow mere names to make distinctions for me, but still see men in herds for all them.”
