Sometimes the gift of an inquisitive nature to the young can be greater than that of the wisdom which comes of age.

Brian Jacques, Mattimeo

우리들은 자신이 생각하고 있는 것만큼 행복하지도 그렇게 불행하지도 않다. (We are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.)

한국 속담, Korean Proverb

Affliction is often that thing which prepares an ordinary person for some sort of an extraordinary destiny.

C.S. Lewis

Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Very proud of the Barilla pasta company for standing up for traditional family values and not taking the tolerant (i.e. you don’t like it but you say nothing) approach on the issue of homosexual couples in the commercials. Italian cuisine and home life has always been this way and should remain unchanged. There is no reason they should be required to align towards a certain group’s political agenda or attempt to capitalize on the trendy homosexual movement while giving up their moral values. Like Barilla says, “If they don’t like it, then they will not eat it and they will eat another brand." 

audiens sapiens sapientior erit et intellegens gubernacula possidebit (A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments.)

Proverbs 1:5,  Latin Vulgate Bible
