I do not think that all who choose wrong roads perish; but their rescue consists in being put back on the right road. A sum can be put right: but only by going back til you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on. Evil can be undone, but it cannot 'develop' into good.

Salman Rushdie

We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

Benjamin Disraeli

Success isn't necessarily permanent -- but neither is failure.
