| The arrangements of justice do not stand of themselves, my fellows citizens... There is one thing that the American people always rise to and extend their hand to, and that is the truth of justice and of liberty and of peace. We have accepted that truth, and we are going to be led by it, and it is going to lead us, and through us, the world, out into pastures of quietness and peace such as the world never dreamed of before. |
| ~ Woodrow Wilson ---An Address in the City Auditorium in Pueblo, Colorado, September 25, 1919 ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| It is possible to make each year bring with it a lasting gift to add to the fullness of experience, to be treasured up, savored, and remembered. They need not be startling, these gifts of the years; they may be things that lie within the reach of all. |
| ~ Grenville Kleiser ~ |

| Are sailors, frequenters of fiddlers’ greens, without vices? No; but less often than with landsmen do their vices, so called, partake of crookedness of heart, seeming less to proceed from viciousness than exuberance of vitality after long constraint: frank manifestations in accordance with natural law. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Billy Budd, Sailor (c. 1889), ch. 2, eds. Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr. (1962). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| You have to understand that the affection I am speaking of has no purpose, it is not given with the intention of getting anything back. It is not a matter of feeling. In the same way we say that real compassion is without attachment. Pay attention to this point, which goes against our habitual ways of thinking. It is not this or that particular case that stirs our pity. We don't give our compassion to such and such a person by choice. We give it spontaneously, entirely, without hoping for anything in exchange. And we give it universally. |

| Truth from his lips prevail'd with double sway, And fools who came to scoff, remain'd to pray. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Moby-Dick (1851), ch. 93, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 6, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1988). ~ |
