Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground. There is a possibility that in some way or another I may be able to escape. But stand me on that floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No. Never.
He who cheats others is a knave, but he who cheats himself is a fool.
No man shall be more exacting of me or my conduct than I am of myself.
I would rather trust my child to a serpent than to a teacher who does not believe in God.
