Life
Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.

Miracles happen to those who believe in them. Otherwise why does not the Virgin Mary appear to Lamaists, Mohammedans, or Hindus who have never heard of her?
-Bernard Berenson
Taxation
Government lasts as long as the under-taxed can defend themselves against the over-taxed.
-Bernard Berenson
Truth
Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.
