"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
I've got 3 from others and one I came up with yesterday. From Spider Robinson, "You can't waste a hug" and, "Shared pain is lessened pain; shared joy is increased."
From Henry David Thoreau, "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."
From myself, "Life is a deadline." That sounds harsh at first glance but think about it awhile.
