12. “The human mind is much like a farmer’s land. The land gives the farmer a choice. He may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn’t care what is planted.

Integrity is The Seed for Achievement

23. “Whenever we’re afraid, it’s because we don’t know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid. Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.”
