I don't know what it is to love the way they love-they would jump off a bridge for me. I can't do that. I can only say, I owe you.

Henry Cloud

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

John Burroughs

I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory and the sacrifices were like the stockyards at Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.

Ernest Hemingway

Alexander Pope

My faith has strengthen. God has shown me through my son with Down syndrome not take anything for granted. I'm more grateful.

Jon Stewart

Decency is the least of all laws, but yet it is the law which is most strictly observed.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

But let us remember, at the same time, government is sacred, and not to be trifled with.
