They're your army of personal walking ambassadors.

• The craft with which the world is made runs also into the mind and character of men. No man is quite sane; each has a vein of folly in his composition, a slight determination of blood to the head, to make sure of holding him hard to some one point which Nature has taken to heart.

• As the great philosopher George Santayana would have said, 'those who cannot remember the past . . . should simply read Jan Van Meter's Tippecanoe and Tyler Too.' Van Meter's greatest hits collection of slogans is the catchiest ever retelling of American history. It's like the greatest minds of Madison Avenue sat down to write a history book. They don't make sound bites like they used to!

• It is the property of the religious spirit to be the most refining of all influences. No external advantages, no culture of the tastes, no habit of command, no association with the elegant, or even depth of affection, can bestow that delicacy and that grandeur of bearing which belong only to the mind accustomed to celestial conversation,--all else is but gilt and cosmetics, beside this, as expressed in every look and gesture.

• This is some fellow,
  Who having been prais'd for bluntness, doth affect
  A saucy roughness and constrains the garb
  Quite from his nature: he can't flatter, he!
  An honest mind and plain,--he must speak truth!
  And they will take it so; if not he's plain.
  These kind of knaves I know, which in this plainness
  Harbor more craft, and far corrupter ends,
  Than twenty silly, ducking observants,
  That stretch their duty nicely.

  William Shakespeare
