• ""It's all about the buzz" - Stillwater lead singer, Jeff, from the film Almost Famous "Knowledge is the only fountain both of love and the principles of human liberty." Daniel Webster, 1843 "Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing". -J.S. Mill “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." --Douglas Adams "We do not create 'what will come' except from what is and what has gone before, and that creation requires effort as well as joy". -Virginia Postrel Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads. –an old Iowa Farmer’s advice The best sermons are lived, not preached. –anonymous “As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy” –Christopher Dawson"
