And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

That is why I think a photograph can be kind.

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society.

This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.
