| The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy offers this definition of the word "Infinite." Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here. |

| He who is ready to despair in solitary peril, plucks up a heart in the presence of another. In a plurality of comrades is much countenance and consolation. |

| Chapter 26 : respect seniors 01 Do not sit down in the beerhouse, 02 in order to join one greater than You. 03 Be he a youth great through his office, 04 or be he an elder through birth. 05 Befriend a man of your own measure, 06 Re is helpful from afar. 07 If You see one greater than You outdoors, 08 walk behind him respectfully. 09 Give a hand to an elder sated with beer, 10 respect him as his children would. 11 The arm is not hurt by being bared. 12 The back is not broken by bending it. 13 A man does not lose by speaking sweetly, 14 nor does he gain if his speech is straw. 15 The pilot who sees from afar, 16 he will not wreck his boat. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Stevenson had noble ideas—as did the young Franklin for that matter. But Stevenson felt that the way to implement them was to present himself as a thoughtful idealist and wait for the world to flock to him. He considered it below him, or wrong, to scramble out among the people and ask them what they wanted. Roosevelt grappled voters to him. Stevenson shied off from them. Some thought him too pure to desire power, though he showed ambition when it mattered. |

| You can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you’ve become yourself. |
| ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), U.S. First Lady, humanitarian. As quoted in Woman to Woman, by Julia Gilden and Mark Riedman (1994). ~ |
