Barack OBAMA - At the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world—and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to focus on…the responsibility each of you has for your education.

George ORWELL - During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

OVID: Nothing is more powerful than custom or habit.

OVID: Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.

OVID: A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.
