The last thing I ever wanted was to be alive when the three most powerful people on the whole planet would be named Bush, Dick and Colon.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

George Eliot

Edwin Hubbell Chapin

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Phil Jackson

Trisha Goddard

Ralph Waldo Emerson
