● To a man with an empty stomach, food is god.
● Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.

Martin Niemoeller
● In Germany, they came first for the communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists but I didn’t speak up because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time nobody was left to speak up.

● Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.

Michael Caine
● Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

● Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet.
