"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what you want them to achieve, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." ~ General George S. Patton, Jr.
"One evening, when I was yet in my nurse’s arms, I wanted to touch the tea urn, which was boiling merrily... My nurse would have taken me away from the urn, but my mother said 'Let him touch it.' So I touched it -- and that was my first lesson in the meaning of liberty." ~ John Ruskin
