Carl Sagan wrote:For years, near my shaving mirror—so I see it every morning—I have kept a framed postcard. On the back is a penciled message to a Mr. James Day in Swansea Valley, Wales. It reads:

Annie and I display the postcard for a reason. We know that “going grand” can be the most temporary and illusory state. So it was with us.

Frederick Douglass wrote:They came because they wished to learn. Their minds had been starved by their cruel masters. They had been shut up in mental darkness. I taught them, because it was the delight of my soul to be doing something that looked like bettering the condition of my race.

Mark Twain wrote:If you can laugh at it, you can survive it.
