Neither will lie to you."

-John G

[moved from old forum:]

"When any man who conceives a great principle can balance the power of that thought-principle with an equally balanced series of actions to give perfection of form to that principle, he is heralded by all men as a genius."

"Man’s power lies in his ability to demonstrate a principle."

- Walter Russel
