A New Quote

Sometimes an idea strikes me that sounds as though it might make a good quote. As a child, I came up with "I have my facts; you have your opinions." That one was so popular that people now quote it back at me in a vain attempt to prove me wrong. In my idealistic adolescence, I invented "reality is the way things are, not the way things have to be." Here's a new one:

"The ordinary person does what is right when convenient. The extraordinary person does what is right even when inconvenient. The saint does what is right even if it kills him."
