First and Foremost I am an entertainer but all I need is the Federal Credentials.”
    —Elvis Presley (1935–1977)

    “All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Only what is rare is valuable.

    —Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
