Thank you! I love Oscar Wilde's quotes. Here's another one and I think it's a gem.

Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
-Oscar Wilde

Brilliant quote, General! Plenty of food for thought here :)

My humble contribution:

"Bondage to the land was the basis of villeinage in the old regime; bondage to the job will be the basis of villeinage in the new."

- William J Ghent, ‘Our Benevolent Feudalism’ (1902)

Love Mandela. What a great person. May he live in our heart forever.

Here's one by the great Martin Luther King:

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
