    —George Washington (1732–1799)

    ““I couldn’t afford to learn it,” said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. “I only took the regular course.”
    “What was that?” inquired Alice.
    “Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied; “and then the different branches of Arithmetic—Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
    “I never heard of ‘Uglification,’” Alice ventured to say.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “A good word is as a good tree—
    its roots are firm,
    and its branches are in heaven;
    it gives its produce every season
    by the leave of its Lord.”
    —Qur’An. Abraham 14:29-30, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
