I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary. – Nathan Hale

Pete Seeger is a modest, unassuming, cheerful, and kind-natured man. He’s a good folk singer, if you can stand folk singing. And he’s such an excellent banjo player that you almost don’t wish you had a pair of wire cutters. – P. J. O’Rourke
