The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
It is fun to be in the same decade with you.
Be sincere; be brief; be seated.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
