"We live in a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants, in a world that has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. We have solved the mystery of the atom and forgotten the lessons of the Sermon on the Mount. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about dying than we know about living."

-- Omar N. Bradley

“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics donâ€™t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying â€œyesâ€ begins things. Saying â€œyesâ€ is how things grow. Saying â€œyesâ€ leads to knowledge. â€œYesâ€ is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say â€œyes'.”
