or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

Training - training is everything; training is all there is to a person.
We speak of nature; it is folly; there is no such thing as nature;
what we call by that misleading name is merely heredity and training.
We have no thoughts of our own, no opinions of our own;
they are transmitted to us, trained into us.
All that is original in us, and therefore fairly creditable
or discreditable to us, can be covered up and hidden
by the point of a cambric needle, all the rest being atoms
contributed by, and inherited from, a procession of ancestors
that stretches back a billion years to the Adam-clam
or grasshopper or monkey from whom our race has been
so tediously and ostentatiously and unprofitably developed.
And as for me, all that I think about in this plodding sad pilgrimage,
this pathetic drift between the eternities,
is to look out and humbly live a pure and high and blameless life,
and save that one microscopic atom in me that is truly me:
the rest may land in Sheol and welcome for all I care.
- Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

I have found that if you love life,
life will love you back.
- Arthur Rubinstein

Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

in which you can walk with love and reverence.

of most of the people you see every day,
is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.

is to be continually fearing you will make one.
