Marriage changes everything.

Marilyn Manson

The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.

Confucius

Our nation has kept faith with its veterans. Funding for veterans healthcare and benefits is strong, and has increased more than 75 percent in the last decade.

Steve Buyer

Humans are amphibians...half spirit and half animal...as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation--the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.

C.S. Lewis

So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the burning marl. Old wives' tales!There's no need for red-hot pokers. HELL IS--OTHER PEOPLE!(spoken by character Garcin) http://www.nyu.edu/classes/keefer/hell/sart.html

JeanPaul Sartre, No Exit, 1945

Pell Grants are, and have been, critically important tools in making higher education a possibility for lower- and middle-income students.

Christopher Dodd

People are always angry at America. They're absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.

P. J. O'Rourke

The past always looks better than it was. It's only pleasant because it isn't here.

Finley Peter Dunne

Sometimes it takes a walk through the darkness; to totally appreciate the light

L.M. Young

Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.

Yul Brynner

Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community.

John W. Gardner

It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.

Zora Neale Hurston
