They imply, first of all, that it must be a peace without victory. It is not pleasant to say this. I beg that I may be permitted to put my own interpretation upon it and that it may be understood that no other interpretation was in my thought. I am seeking only to face realities and to face them without soft concealments. Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last, only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit. The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations, is as necessary for a lasting peace as is the just settlement of vexed questions of territory or of racial and national allegiance.

It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

Eric Hoffer

Intelligence is that faculty of mind, by which order is perceived in a situation previously considered disordered.

Haneef Fatmi

It marriage happens as with cages the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair to getting out.

There are so many charlatans in the world of education. They teach for a couple of years, come up with a few clever slogans, build their websites, and hit the lecture circuit. In this fast-food-society, simple solutions to complex problems are embraced far too often. We can do better. I hope that people who read this book realize that true excellence takes sacrifice, mistakes, and enormous amounts of effort. After all, there are no shortcuts.

Rafe Esquith

A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

Henry Ward Beecher

Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.

Aristotle

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.

Edward Teller

If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.

Snoop Dogg

Advertising is the greatest art form of the twentieth century.

Marshall McLuhan

You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.

Duane Chapman

I ain't got nothing to say. I just wanna play football.
