Alfred A. Montapert

What you have in your mind, your talents, your native abilities, no one can take from you. When you die you take them with you. Use them diligently while you are here.

Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

The only calendar I need is just outside my window. With eyes to see and ears to hear, nature keeps me posted.

All lasting business is built on friendship.
