" The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."
I die the King's good servant, but God's first. " I die the King's faithful servant, but God's first." " I die the King's good servant, but God's first." " A man for all seasons." " What you cannot enforce, do not command." " For if we are to be truly human, we must be willing to be truly free." " There is nothing that an honest man will not do for his country." " The things that we love tell us what we are." " If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could better judge what to do and how to do it." |
