Silence is one of the great arts of conversation, as allowed by Cicero himself, who says, "there is not only an art, but an eloquence in it."

So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
It is in learning music that many youthful hearts learn to love.: Ricard
Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money.: W. J. Cameron
The three most important parts a man has are, briefly, his private parts, his money and his religious beliefs.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
Not all those who know their minds know their hearts as well.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
