Never entrust the solving of a problem to those who may benefit from the solution.

The pleasures of youth are the pains of old age, just as the pleasures of old age are the pains of youth.

It is not more answers we need, but better questions. It is not more action we need, but deeper reflection. It is not more knowledge we need, but profounder wisdom. It is not more technology we need, but greater aspirations.
