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
