“It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity, and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, "You toil and work and earn bread, and I'll eat it." No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.”
― Abraham Lincoln, The Lincoln-Douglas Debates

“Ignorance was just as dynamic as knowledge, and it grew in the same proportion.”
― Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

“The most beautiful thing of all, though, is to be able to shake hands again
with an old friend, as in days gone by; it is a great comfort to find again, what
we have treasured.”
― Johanna Spyri
