    "The common man, finding himself in a world so excellent, technically and socially, believes it has been produced by nature, and never thinks of the personal efforts of highly endowed individuals which the creation of this new world presupposed.

    Still less will he admit the notion that all these facilities still require the support of certain difficult human virtues, the least failure of which would cause the rapid disappearance of the whole magnificent edifice."

    ~Jos� Ortega y Gasset (1883�1955)

    �When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.�

    There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings.

    Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
