I don't know why, but I've always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies.

If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.

Albert Einstein

You are welcome to your intellectual pastimes and books and art and newspapers welcome, too, to your bars and your whisky that only makes me ill. Here am I in the forest, quite content.

It may be a reflection on human nature that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

James Madison

Nature utters her voice in lessons of heavenly wisdom and eternal truth.

Ellen G. White

Julia Roberts

We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.

Bernard Baruch
