I've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course. ~Barack Obama

The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it. ~Bikram Choudhury

A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford
