“Man passes away; generations are but shadows;
there is nothing stable but truth.”
- Josiah Quincy, Jr.
“Count the number of Patels in the telephone book. Less than ten means no Indian restaurant; more than ten, you’re in luck. If you’re bold enough, or if you happen to be Indian, you can call one of the ten-or-more and just ask them where to eat.”
- Abraham Verghese
“The first requisite of intelligent tinkering is to save all the pieces.”

“1. Avoid fried meats, which angry up the blood.
2. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
3. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move.
4. Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society.
The social ramble ain’t restful.
5. Avoid running at all times.
6. Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you.”
- Baseball Pitcher, Leroy “Satchel” Paige
