"Beware how you take away hope from..." - Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr

“Memory is a net: one that finds it full of fish when he takes it from the brook, but a dozen miles of water have run through it without sticking.”

“We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. You cannot educate a man wholly out of the superstitious fears which were early implanted in his imagination; no matter how utterly his reason may reject them...”

“Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way - and the fools know it.”

“There are forces more powerful and pervasive than the apparatus of war. You may chain a man, but you cannot chain his mind. You may enslave him, but you will not conquer his spirit. In every decade since the war Soviet leaders have been reminded that their pitiless ideology only survives because it is maintained by force. But the day will come when the anger and frustration of the people is so great that force cannot contain it. Then the edifice cracks; the mortar crumbles; one day, liberty will dawn on the other side of the wall.”

“We're all dreamers.”

“Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness.”

“Becoming a good listener, you are able to connect with others on more levels and develop stronger, deeper relationships.”

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happybecause they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthlessand they don't want anyone else to feel like that.”

“Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.”
