| Quote of the moment |
| [U]nless these departments be so far connected and blended as to give to each a constitutional control over the others, the degree of separation which the maxim requires, as essential to a free government, can never in practice be duly maintained. |

| Quote of the moment |
| I shall detain you no longer in the demonstration of what we should not do, but straight conduct ye to a hillside, where I will point ye out the right path of a virtuous and noble education; laborious indeed at the first ascent, but else so smooth, so green, so full of goodly prospect and melodious sounds on every side that the harp of Orpheus was not more charming. |
| ~ John Milton, Tractate of Education. ~ |

| There is something in us, somehow, that, in the most degraded condition, we snatch at a chance to deceive ourselves into a fancied superiority to others, whom we suppose lower in the scale than ourselves. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. White-Jacket (1850), ch. 67, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 5, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1969). Referring to black and white people. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| When one is in an intense state of hatred, even a very close friend appears somehow "frosty," cold and distant, or quite annoying. If one harbors hateful thoughts, it ruins one's health. Even if one has wonderful possessions, in the moment of anger one feels like throwing them or breaking them. So there is no guarantee that wealth alone can give one the joy or fulfillment that one seeks. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, October 13, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
