You behold a range of exhausted volcanoes. Not a flame flickers on a single pallid crest.

Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.

Dave Barry

Whenever you see a gaming table be sure to know fortune is not there. Rather she is always in the company of industry.

Oliver Goldsmith

Speech is the gift of all, but the thought of few.

Cato The Elder

Time heals all wounds.

Stephen King

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting, funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

Lily Tomlin

I love seeing people having fun. Everyone over in L.A. is too cool for it. That's the problem.

Lukas Haas

Work is a blessing. God has so arranged the world that work is necessary, and He gives us hands and strength to do it. The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures.

Elisabeth Elliot

One said of suicide, As long as one has brains one should not blow them out. And another answered, But when one has ceased to have them, too often one cannot.

Francis H. Bradley

Life is short, and we should respect every moment of it.

Orhan Pamuk

In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.

Bob Riley

Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. A wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. Pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. Joy comes from loving God and neighbor. Pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. Joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. Pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. Joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of God.

Fulton John Sheen

All tools have intrinsic politics and technology is the tool of now.

Godfrey Reggio
