The truth is that nobody is owed an apology for anything. Apologies are lovely when they happen. But they change nothing. They do not reverse actions or correct damage. They are merely nice to hear. View quote

If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth, and truth only, prepared to hear all things, and decide upon all things, according to evidence, we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance, than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment. View quote

Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me 'Pipe a song about a Lamb.' So I piped with merry cheer 'Piper, pipe that song again.' So I piped he wept to hear. View quote
