Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man's?

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism"

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
