"...it is always wise to do one's duty, however unpleasant that duty may seem to be." -Ozma - L. Frank Baum

If you think of some dreadful thing, it's liable to happen, but if you don't think of it, and no one else thinks of it, it just can't happen.

"You are both rich, my friends," said Ozma, gently; "and your riches are the only riches worth having — the riches of content!"

To be individual, my friends, to be different from others, is the only way to become distinguished from the common herd. Let us be glad, therefore, that we differ from one another in form and in disposition. Variety is the spice of life, and we are various enough to enjoy one another's society; so let us be content.
