For Pam, who knows the difference between a lorgnette and a lanyard, and isn’t afraid to say so
The town is clean and pretty, and of course is “going to be” much larger. It is the seat of the State legislature of Ohio, and lays claim, in consequence, to some consideration and importance.
—Charles Dickens, describing his impressions of Columbus in American Notes
Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.
—George Washington Carver, in a quote on permanent display at the Ohio Statehouse
Sad at heart, I answered: “Sleep and my foolish crew brought me harm, but you, my friends, have the power to set all to rights.”
—Odysseus, in Homer’s Odyssey, Book 10
