"To stand in silence when they should..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.”

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.”

“If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.”

“I begin to think that none are so bold as the timid, when they are fairly roused.”

“If a human being dreams a great dream, dares to love somebody; if a human being dares to be Martin King, or Mahatma Gandhi, or Mother Theresa, or Malcolm X; if a human being dares to be bigger than the condition into which she or he was born-it means so can you. And so you can try to stretch, stretch, stretch yourself so you can internalize, 'Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto. I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.' That's one thing I'm learning.”

“Braveness is resistance to concern, mastery of panic - not absense of anxiety.”

“If you tell me, I will listen. If you show me, I will see. If you let me experience, I will learn!”

“If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.”

“You perceive now, my friends, what your general or abstract duty is as teachers. Although you have to generate in your pupils a large stock of ideas, any one of which may be inhibitory, yet you must also see to it that no habitual hesitancy or paralysis of the will ensues, and that the pupil still retains his power of vigorous action.”
