Nothing can happen until I get there.’”

“I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
