"There is a time for everything, and a season for activity under heaven."--Eclesiastes 3:1
"Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty."--Louisa May Alcott

If only they were more civil, if only they were more respectful.
