Wilhelm von Humboldt
Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form.

The best education I have ever received...Laws are silent...Find something you're passionate about and keep...I always say your truth is your compass...To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling...Do not do to others what angers you...
