“The Moral Law isn't any one instinct or any set of instincts: it is something which makes a kind of tune (the tune we call goodness or right conduct) by directing the instincts. (...) The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs.

If you leave out justice you'll find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials 'for the sake of humanity,' and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man.”

― Israelmore Ayivor

“To lead yourself, use your head; to lead others, use your heart.”

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
― John C. Maxwell
