    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”
