| If you rely on someone who has lower qualities than yourself, that will lead to your degeneration; if you rely on someone who has qualities similar to yourself, you will stay where you are; and if you rely on someone who has better qualities than yourself, that will help you to achieve sublime status. |

| "Is anybody at home?" There was a sudden scuffling noise from inside the hole, and then silence. "What I said was, `Is anybody at home?'" called out Pooh very loudly. "No!" said a voice; and then added, "You needn't shout so loud. I heard you quite well the first time." "Bother!" said Pooh. "Isn't there anybody here at all?" "Nobody." |

| Of all mortals, some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged. |

| Quote of the moment |
| On Self-Reliance: There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible. |
| ~ Emily Post, Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home, Chap. VII¶34, 1922 ~ |
