O, woe is me, To have seen what I have seen, see what I see

Wherever I am, if I've got a book with me, I have a place I can go and be happy

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon

Love has different shades. Like the way I loved Cassia when I thought she'd never love me. The way I loved her on the Hill. The way I love her now that she came into the canyon for me. It's different. Deeper. I thought I loved her and wanted her before, but as we walk through the canyon together I realize this could be more than a new shade. A whole new color.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expressioneverywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own wayeverywhere in the world. The third is freedom from wantwhich, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitantseverywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fearwhich, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighboranywhere in the world.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them. And you don't have to keep them either. They keep you.
