-George Washington Carver

Nice one.

Somehow I feel that this quote you recall in your post is very close to the combination of three short ones that I like much from Thoreau :

"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals."

"It is the greatest of all advantages to enjoy no advantage at all."

"The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend."

-- Henry David Thoreau

My name's pronounced like "see real". Its root is "Lord".

"The demand of a great people is always at the scale of its most serious misfortunes." --De Gaulle
