#quotes #paul-cezanne #nature

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. ~William Wilberforce

Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ~Thomas Sowell
