Favorite saying

• "Der Mensch ist etwas, das überwunden werden soll. Was habt ihr getan, ihn zu überwinden? -- Nietzsche Through the teacher flows the life that molds the world -- Prof. Andrew J. Green, my father Yet not to thine eternal resting-place/ Shalt thou retire alone, nor coulds't thou wish/ Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down/ With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings,/ The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good,/ Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,/ All in one mighty sepulchre. -- Bryant, Thanatopsis People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors. -- Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France"
