"The truth is not always what we want to hear, but it is always what we need to know."
Our heroes are human heroes. That's a very new situation. Most other societies have had, right at their center, the worship of something transcendent: a god, a spirit, a natural force, the universe, whatever it is -- something else that is being worshiped. We've slightly lost the habit of doing that, which is, I think, why we're particularly drawn to nature.
Power is not a toy we give to children. It is a weapon we place in the hands of soldiers.
The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.
