“People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.”

“It is best to do things systematically, since we are only human, and disorder is our worst enemy.”

“The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.”

“We cannot swing up on a rope that is attached only to our own belt.”

“Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can’t even describe, aren’t even aware of.”

“Do or do not. There is no try.”
