Nothing is ever lost by courtesy. It is the cheapest of
pleasures, costs nothing, and conveys much.
Erastus Wiman
One thing is clear to me. You can't know everything you'd
like to know. You can't do everything you'd like to do.
You can't read everything you'd like to read. You must
hold onto some things and let go of others. Learning to
make that choice is one of the big lessons of this life.
Real Live Preacher
Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no
hook beneath it.
Thomas Jefferson
