It's sad that children cannot know their parents when they were younger; when they were loving, courting, and being nice to one another. By the time children are old enough to observe, the romance has all too often faded or gone underground.

“No arguments will give courage to the coward.”

"I am convinced that natural selection has been the main but not exclusive means of modification."

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with a few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” – George Washington
