Wise Words
Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in a period of moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
-JFK
You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.
-Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
-MLK
