James Madison "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." Amelia Earhart "The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship." Henry Ford "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." |
