"Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future; practice these acts
... make a habit of two things — to help, or at least to do no harm."

                                   - Hippocrates


"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety

"My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you
don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they are 
popular; you make them because they are right."

                                   - Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C.
                                     former president, University of Notre Dame


"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit 
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust
and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again
and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows 
the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows
in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while 
daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls
who know neither victory nor defeat."

                                    - Theodore Roosevelt


"Anyone can become angry - that is easy.  But to be angry with the right 
person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in
the right way - that is not easy."

                                    - Aristotle


"Be the change you want to see in the world."

                                    - Gandhi


"As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an 
opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely 
and generously."

                                    - Benjamin Franklin
