Aesop

The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales.

Our insignificance is often the cause of our safety.

Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.

Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.

To me, it was shocking that a government of men could look with such extreme contempt on a movement that was asking nothing except such a simple little thing as the right to vote.

My upbringing has given me sympathy for the idea of isolation and what it is to be a new person in the room, where everyone else has some amount of familiarity and comfort.
