“...Human thought has no limit. At its risk and peril, it analyzes and dissects its own fascination. We could almost say that, by a sort of splendid reaction, it fascinates nature; the mysterious world surrounding us returns what it receives; it is likely that contemplators are contemplated.”
“Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.”
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.”

“It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.”
