“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”

“Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

“If not us, who? And if not now, when?”

“Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter — when they separate, man no longer exists.”
