Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“When power becomes gracious and descends into the visible—such descent I call beauty.”
