The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal.

Whittaker Chambers

Dogs have more love than integrity. They've been true to us, yes, but they haven't been true to themselves.

Clarence Day

The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.

Francis Quarles

Your silence gives consent.

Plato

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

Abraham Lincoln
