We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.

The highest principles for our aspirations and judgments are given to us in the Jewish-Christian religious tradition.

Albert Einstein

We all know of course that we cannot abolish all the evils in this world by statute or by the enforcement of statutes, nor can we prevent the inexorable law of nature which decrees that suffering shall follow vice, and all the evil passions and folly of mankind. Law cannot give to depravity the rewards of virtue, to indolence the rewards of industry, to indifference the rewards of ambition, or to ignorance the rewards of learning. The utmost that government can do is measurably to protect men, not against the wrong they do themselves but against wrong done by others and to promote the long, slow process of educating mind and character to a better knowledge and nobler standards of life and conduct. We know all this, but when we see how much misery there is in the world and instinctively cry out against it, and when we see some things that government may do to mitigate it, we are apt to forget how little after all it is possible for any government to do, and to hold the particular government of the time and place to a standard of responsibility which no government can possibly meet.

Elihu Root

There can be no high civility without a deep morality

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.

Ted Cook

What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.

Bob Dylan

Design must seduce, shape, and perhaps more importantly, evoke an emotional response.
