What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside you. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Then there’s hope a great man’s memory may outlive his life… William Shakespeare
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike – and yet it is the most precious thing we have. Albert Einstein
"No one gossips about other people's virtues." - Bertrand Russell
"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." Francis Bacon
