"Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find
amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own;
sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push
through the obstruction."
--William James
"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few
be well tried before you give them your confidence; true
friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and
withstand the shocks and adversity before it is entitled to the
appellation."
--George Washington
"It behooves you, therefore, to think and act for yourself and
your people. The great principles of right and wrong are legible
to every reader; to pursue them requires not the aid of many
counselors. The whole art of government consists in the art of
being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give
you credit where you fail."
--Thomas Jefferson
