Oh, Bobby, Bobby...

Come you masters of war. 

You that build all the guns. 

You that build the death planes. 

You that build the big bombs. 

You that hide behind walls. 

You that hide behind desks. 

I just want you to know I can see through your masks...

Let me ask you one question. Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness, do you think that it could? 

I think you will find, when your death takes its toll, all the money you made will never buy back your soul.

~ Bob Dylan

~ Viktor E. Frankl

What a novel idea!

We are not afraid to trust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values.

For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

~ President John F. Kennedy

True then, true now...

The opinion of ten thousand men is of no value if none of them knows anything about the subject.

Simple, but profound advice

The better the quality of your practice, the greater the return on your investment of time and energy.

Playing small, indeed...

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you capable of living.
