Others dream things that never were and ask why not. -- George Bernard Shaw Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness. -- Martin Luther King, Jr. You have powers you never dreamed of.

Kingsley There's a lot to be said for the fellow who doesn't say it himself. -- Maurice Switzer Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise. -- Lord Chesterfield With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy. -- Arthur Schopenhauer A little neglect may breed great mischief. -- Benjamin Franklin The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.

Because someday in life you will have been all of these. -- George Washington Carver "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made." -- Robert Browning, 'Rabbi Ben Ezra' The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved. -- Kahlil Gibran There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. -- George Santayana |
