“I was grateful to see President Obama's victory speech. I was over the moon to see the audience. There were about 60 percent white voters the other 40 percent were African Americans, Asian, Spanish speaking etc. I wept at that spectacle, it told me that the pundits that continue in our country to try to polarize us, to keep us apart, are not succeeding. Americans are waking up not only to the truth, but the truth in each other. Hallelujah!”

“Always take hold of things by the smooth handle grateful that they are not worse rather than the rough handle, bitter that they are not better.”

“We bring forth weeds when our quick minds lie still.”

“The intellectual life of man consists almost wholly in his substitution of conceptual order for the perceptual order in which his experience originally comes.”

“Some people read so little they have rickets of the mind.”
