"Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerances and the milk of human kindness. The person who achieves must generally be a one-idea individual concentrated entirely on that one idea and ruthless in his aspect toward other men and other ideas."

-- Corinne Roosevelt Robinson

“I grew up in the South Side, and when we would have snow and blizzards and drifts, we would jump off the garage roof into the snow.

When I forbid myself what I may have, no person is going to tempt me with what is truly forbidden.”
