“You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.”
― Charles Mackay

“It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.”
― Calvin Coolidge

“The mark of a great man is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Alloy of Law

“Faith is about trust. Trusting that somebody was watching. That somebody will make it all right in the end, even though things look terrible at the moment.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages
