It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
-- Sir Edmund Hillary

Henry David Thoreau

Life Quotes
To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.
Confucius
Great Quotes
The moral duty to be expected in different ages is not a unity of standard, or of acts, but a unity of tendency.

of the United States of America,
