The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own
reason for existing. --Albert EinsteinMy gaze on Beatrice, hers on Heaven,
In less time than an arrow strikes the mark,
Flies through the air, loosed from its catch, I found
myself in some place where a wondrous thing.
Absorbed all of my mind, and then my lady,
From whom I could not keep my thirst to know,
turned toward me as joyful as her beauty:
Direct your mind and gratitude, she said,
To God, who raised us up to His first star.
-Dante, The Divine Comedy: Paradise
Founding Fathers Quotes
Eloquence has been defined to be the art of persuasion. If it included persuasion by convincing, Mr. Madison was the most
eloquent man I ever heard.
Patrick Henry, on James Madison, November 12, 1790
