Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Saint Exupery wrote "The Little Prince." Good book.
He was a French pilot. He died in WWII, shot down by the Luftwaffe near the end of the war, I think.
(Wiki said that that is an unverified claim by a German pilot in '08, not supported by Allied reports.)
I like the quote, and this one from a fox in this book:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."

Some of my favorites:
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
- Mahatma Gandhi
You can best judge a man's character by what he does when no one is watching.
- me (although I'm sure many others have said it before me)
Being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people become dependent on you. If you do nothing, they loose hope. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all. (This may not be word-for-word, but the idea is the same)
