- What self-control doesn't mean is mindless self-sacrifice or knee-jerk self-denial. On the contrary, it represents an affirmation of self, for it requires not the negation of instinct but its integration into a more complete form of character-one that takes account of more than just immediate pleasures and pains. The self-control I'm talking about means acting in keeping with your highest level of reflection.
- Daniel Akst, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess, 2011

- Speak the truth, but leave immediately after.
- Slovenian Proverb
- God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
- Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

- Arnot L. Sheppard Jr.
