We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Some people displease with merit, and others’ very faults and defects are pleasing.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
