“We all love best not those who offend us least, nor those who have done most for us, but those who make it most easy for us to forgive them.”

“The most attractive are not those who allow us to kiss them at once [we soon feel ungrateful] or those who never allow us to kiss them [we soon forget them], but those who coyly lead us between the two extremes.”

“Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating the talents of those who work for us and pointing them toward a certain goal.”

“We often forgive those who bore us, but we do not forgive those we bore”.”

“The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould”

“May our daily choices be a reflection of our deepest values, and may we use our voices to speak for those who need us most, those who have no voice, those who have no choice.”
