    “Insurance. An ingenious modern game of chance in which the player is permitted to enjoy the comfortable conviction that he is beating the man who keeps the table.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    “Grant me the treasure of sublime poverty: permit the distinctive sign of our order to be that it does not possess anything of its own beneath the sun, for the glory of your name, and that it have no other patrimony than begging.”
    —St. Francis Of Assisi (c. 1182–1226)

    “There are as many characters in men
    As there are shapes in nature.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “I can add colors to the chameleon,
    Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
    And set the murderous Machiavel to school.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
