Ahhh, a war of quotes, I like it.  How do we know who wins?  Sam is like-minded with Sir Fredrick Pizzlebottom who said, "He that makes himself an ass, must not take it ill if men ride him."

Now that is totally uncalled-for, and insulting to a great artist, and not
only that, but to Doug Kim, who thought enough of this group to share a
wonderful idea about art with this group. You should be ashamed of yourself,
Sam, for saying such a thing. I, for one, appreciated Doug's bringing the
quote to our attention. 

There is another statement, similar to Martha Graham's, and I believe it's
biblical. Goes like this: "If you do not bring forth that which is within
you, that which is within you will destroy you." 

There is also another quote I like, from Abe Lincoln:

"Better to be thought a fool than open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

Martha is very much like-minded with Twix Bullah of the Railroad Club 
who said "I use my arse instead of my brain; the money's the same."
