Ben Says: Child are born to be vibrant. Empower them with positive affirmations that will fuel them throughout their lives and then watch them shine like the stars above.Timothy PinaBullying Ben

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!' Gone where? Gone from my sight ... that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There she goes!' there are other eyes watching her coming and their voices ready to take up the glad shouts 'Here she comes!'

The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is.

Jupiter Hammon

You don't need intelligence to have luck, but you do need luck to have intelligence.

Yiddish Proverb

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

Greg Anderson

Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease.

R. Buckminster Fuller

It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth... and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.

Francis Bacon

It's not your pictures I like; it's your painting.

Albert Camus

These martyrs of patriotism gave their lives for an idea.

Schuyler Colfax

There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love; and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness.

George Eliot

Return from existence to nonexistence. You are seeking the Lord and you belong to him. Nonexistence is a place of income; flee it not. This existence of more and less is a place of expenditure.

Rumi

As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.
