If you want a world ruled by law and not by force you must build up, from the very grassroots, a respect for law. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
