- Dr. Frank Crane
- The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

- Let's assume that each person has an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different. To realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.
- John Fischer
- All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
