 There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.  She's too young for Medicare and too old for me to care. And he (King David) died in a good old age, full of days, riches and honour. - Bible The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. - Romans Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. - Bible The support of one's personality is friends. A part of one's self and a real foundation and existence. The art of making much show with little substance. - Macaulay The physically fit can enjoy their vices. America is a country of young men. To err is human, to forgive divine. The bridges you cross before you come to them are over rivers that aren't there. Wealth lost-something lost; Honor lost-much lost; Courage lost-all lost.

A sympathetic friend can be quite dear as a brother. - Homer When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course, I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, "How good or how bad am I?" That's where courage comes in. What is the test of good manners? Being able to bear patiently with bad ones. |
