Where we cannot
invent, we may at least improve; we may give somewhat of novelty to that which
was old, condensation to that which was diffuse, perspicuity to that which was
obscure, and currency to that which was recondite. - Charles Colton
I do the very best I know how, the very
best I can; and I mean to keep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out
all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything. If the end
brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no
difference. - Abraham Lincoln
Part of human
nature resents change, loves equilibrium, while another part welcomes novelty,
loves the excitement of disequilibrium. There is no formula for the resolution
of this tug-of-war, but it is obvious that absolute surrender to either of them
invites disaster. - J. Bartlet Brebner
