"The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude."

"Several excuses are always less convincing than one."

~Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963)

"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough."

~Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President (1882-1945)
