"Happy would I be if it could be said of me
that like Cytheris I could train
the unbroken horse without robbing him
of the fire in his eye
and
the delight in his speed." (Thornton Wilder)

To appear wise, one must talk;
To be wise, one must listen.
To appear to do good, one must be busy;
To do good, one must know when to stand aside.
To appear to lead, one must put oneself first;
To lead, one must put oneself last.
To appear caring, one must give advice;
To be caring, one must give space.
To appear to love, one must know how to give;
To love, one must know also how to receive.
To appear happy, one must smile;
To be happy, one must be free with tears.
