Sincerity That Thinks It Is The Sole

Most People Are Mirrors, Reflecting The Moods And Emotions Of The Times; Few Are Windows, Bringing Light To Bear On The Dark Corners Where Troubles Fester. The Whole Purpose Of Education Is To Turn Mirrors Into Windows.

Regret For The Things We Did Can Be Tempered By Time; It Is Regret For The Things We Did Not Do That Is Inconsolable.

What The Ordinary Person Means By A 'miracle' Is Some Gross Distortion Or Suspension Of The Laws Of Nature... But Life Itself Strikes Him As Commonplace, When In Truth A Blade Of Grass Or A Neuron In The Brain Is A Greater Miracle.

Confidence, Once Lost Or Betrayed, Can Never Be Restored Again To The Same Measure; And We Learn Too Late In Life That Our Acts Of Deception Are Irrevocable - They May Be Forgiven, But They Cannot Be Forgotten By Their Victims.

Patriotism Is Proud Of A Country's Virtues And Eager To Correct Its Deficiencies; It Also Acknowledges The Legitimate Patriotism Of Other Countries, With Their Own Specific Virtues. The Pride Of Nationalism, However, Trumpets Its Country's Virtues And Denies Its Deficiencies, While It Is Contemptuous Toward The Virtues Of Other Countries. It Wants To Be, And Proclaims Itself To Be, "the Greatest," But Greatness Is Not Required Of A Country; Only Goodness Is.
