quotes


The man who backbites an absent friend, nay, who does not stand up for him when another blames him, the man who angles for bursts of laughter and for the repute of a wit, who can invent what he never saw, who cannot keep a secret - that man is black at heart: mark and avoid him.

-- Cicero
Roman author, orator, & politician (106 BC - 43 BC)



"Self-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue." 

– John Herschel



Obscurity is a good thing. You can fail in obscurity. It removes the fear of failure. 
--Jason Fried, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006

You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him up to a heavy load. 
--Paul "Bear" Bryant, I Ain't Never Been Nothing but a Winner
 
 
 

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

- Helen Keller
