The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
-Dante Alighieri, poet (c. May 1265-1321)
...past is never
The past is never where you think you left it.
-Katherine Anne Porter, writer and activist (1890-1980)
...primary duties
As a general truth, communities prosper and flourish, or droop and decline, in just the degree that they practise or neglect to practise the primary duties of justice and humanity.
-William Henry Seward, Secretary of State, Governor, and Senator (1801-1872)
this life flies...
Oh, threats of hell and hopes of paradise!
One thing at least is certain -- this life flies;
One thing is certain, and the rest is lies;
The flower that once has blown forever dies.
-Omar Khayyam, poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer, and physician (1048-1131)
Listening vs talking
"Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk."
~ Doug Larson
