As Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing of the shoulders of giants." Like a dwarf in Tolkien, we owe the great thinkers before us, a great debt of gratitude.
Mark Twain famously said that it is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary. Harvey Reginald Spectre
Arden in Dunnage held that the objective standard for the duty of care applies uniformly to those with disabilities. Where an individual does not know how to prevent injuries to others their ‘liability, is treated in law as the price for being able to move freely in society’.
Ernest Hemmingway
An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools
Nelson Mandela
A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
