4-June-07 Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

21-Jan-07 Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Do you know why? 14-Jan-07 Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, "I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway."
07-Jan-07 Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
01-Jan-07 New year, same goal.
29-Dec-06 Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
25-Dec-06 Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
20-Nov-06 I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
11-Nov-06 Who kept the faith and fought the fight; 5-Nov-06 I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom. 29-Oct-06 `Tis now the very witching time of night, 22-Oct-06 Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

22-July-06 I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; 15-July-06 The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
25-June-06 Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.
20-June-06 I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.
11-June-06 How would you like a job where, every time you make a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?

28-Feb-06 "Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."
27-Feb-06 If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard.

13-Feb-06 There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

21-Aug-05 Promise me you'll never forget me, because if I thought you would, I'd never leave.

18-July-05 Most people do not consider dawn to be an attractive experience - unless they are still up.

20-Dec-04 Children are one third of our population and all of our future. 14-Dec-04 "I trust a man, not a government." 3-Dec-04 A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. 23-Nov-04 The past is never dead; it's not even past. 09-Nov-04 Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one." 05-Nov-04 "Men such as we, men of destiny ... we never really know who we are. But then, after we are dead, historians will argue endlessly about who we were." 17-Oct-04 Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told, "I'm with you, kid. Let's go." 17-Oct-04 Rose: You got rid of the giant spider in the shower?! 31-Aug-04 Has not the count just told us that all human wisdom is summed up in two words? - "Wait and hope." 24-Aug-04 Hatred is blind; rage carries you away; and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught. 18-Aug-04 Love each other or perish. 31-July-04 Swear to God, you never think of me at all or you wouldn't be such a wart on the pickle of my progress! 26-July-04 The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. 19-July-04 The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. 18-July-04 A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one. 14-July-04 The highway of life is full of flat squirrels that couldn't
make up their minds. 24-June-04 He was so broke he couldn't even pay attention. 23-June-04 It was as if in his head the main screw that held his life together was stripped. The screw would neither go in nor come out, but went on turning in the same groove without catching, yet it was impossible to stop turning it. 22-June-04 The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions. 11-May-04 God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. 09-May-04 A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. 01-May-04 We all have the same beginning - birth - and we all have the same end - death. So how different can we be?
