Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.

History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way.

Wendell Willkie

Cincinnati is honourably famous for its free schools, of which it has so many that no person's child among its population can, by possibility, want the means of education.

Charles Dickens

Never write a letter if you can help it, and never destroy one!

Sir John A. Macdonald

Perhaps there are just some things you leave behind when you choose a new life.

Andrew Davidson

I think Mum's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him.

J.K. Rowling

The things I want to know are in books my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

Abraham Lincoln

Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble.

Arabic Proverb

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.

Vladimir Nabokov

It is better to excel in any single art than to arrive only at mediocrity in several, so moderate skill in several is to be preferred where one cannot attain to perfection in any.

Pliny The Younger

Political writing in our time consists almost entirely of prefabricated phrases bolted together like the pieces of a child's Meccano set. It is the unavoidable result of self-censorship. To write in plain, vigorous language one has to think fearlessly, and if one thinks fearlessly one cannot be politically orthodox.

George Orwell

Look at me. I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.

Groucho Marx

I love my man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man.

Mary Wollstonecraft
