Words to Live By
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
-- Mark Twain
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
-- Oscar Wilde
We are to regard the mind, not as a piece of iron to be laid
upon the avil and hammered into any shape, nor as a block of
marble in which we are to find the statue by removing the
rubbish, or as a receptacle into which knowledge may be poured;
but as a flame that is to be fed, as an active being that must
be strengthened to think and to feel---and to dare, to do, and
to suffer.
-- Mark Hopkins, Induction address for Williams College President (1836)
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
