Food For Thought


The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance. -  Karl A. Menninger

Mans first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, and next to escape the censures of the world. There cannot be a greater satisfaction to an honest mind than to see its own approbation seconded by the applause of the public. - Joseph Addison

Facts, when combined with ideas, constitute the greatest force in the world. They are greater than armaments, greater than finance, greater than science, business and law because they constitute the common denominator of all of them. -  Carl W. Ackerman
