Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which, before their union, were not perceived to have any relation.

Mark Twain




Never lose an oppurtunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson




We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true

Woodrow Wilson




Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

Fortune cookie




We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and most are different colors, but they all have to learn to live in the same box.




I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed.

Michael Jordan




Subtract from the great man all that he owes to oppurtunity, all that he owes to chance, all that he gained by the wisdom of his friends and the folly of his enemies, and this giant will often be seen to be a pygmy.




It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.

Father Denis Edward O'Brien USMC




The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Martin Luther King Jr.




It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.

Sheryl Crow, Soak up the Sun




You see, fantasy is what people want, but reality is what people need.

Lauryn Hill




For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

Vincent Van Gogh




If you hold on tight to what you think is your thing, you may find you're missing all the rest.

Dave Mattews Band




Immagination is the thing that allows people to fly and boys to never grow up. If you can't even think that it may be possible, then you have a very bleak future awating you.




Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him

Vince Lombardi




He who conceals his disease cannot be cured

Ethopian Proverb




Wherever you go-in every country,or in every continent, people yearn and hunger for only one thing, to love and be loved. Love transcends international boundaries and heals the wounds of hatred, racial, prejudice, bigotry and ignorance. It is the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

Michael Jackson




I tried to forget you, but the harder I tried, the more I thought about you

Anne Frank




In addition to my other numerous acquaintances, I have one more intimate confidant.... My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known... no wonder, then, that I return the love.

Soren Kierkegaard




If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
