Click to EnlargeKeep in mind that these lessons, such as they are, are not necessarily what these people have taught me. Rather, each one of these lessons is the single most important thing I have learned from each person. Enjoy. ;)

From the Men
• If you are going to do something, never ask for permission to do it.
• Everything can be explained, but you should never attempt to explain everything.
• Honesty is the highest virtue.
• Morality is merely a point of view.
• Literature is the highest pinnacle of culture.
• There is nothing new in the universe, yet there is always more than meets the eye.
• Keep your intentions pure and your mouth shut.

From the Women
• If the squeaky wheel gets the grease, then squeak, dammit.
• There are two parts to every whole.
