"Among mortals second thoughts are wisest...." - Quote by Euripides

“The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.”

“Many a maiden,With white feet glancing light as air,Made happy music through the gloom.”

“What can we take on trust in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness, pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.”

“Learn from nature. See how everything gets accomplished and how the miracle of life unfolds without dissatisfaction or unhappiness.”

“I want to emphasize in the great concentration which we now place upon scientists and engineers how much we still need the men and women educated in the liberal tradition, willing to take the long look, undisturbed by prejudices and slogans of the moment, who attempt to make an honest judgment on difficult events.”

“Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned.”

“An interval of meditation, serious and grateful, was the best corrective of everything dangerous.”

“If you are willing to reflect on the courage and moderation of other people, you will find them strange.”

“Real action is in silent moments.”
