Sara Teasdale

We can't command our love, but we can our actions.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Dan Rather

Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine, My life and death attend; Thy presence through my journey shine, And crown my journey's end.

Victor Hugo

Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.

Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Va

There are lots of people who mistake their imagination for their memory.

Josh Billings

More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.

Antoine De SaintExupery

Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The only thing better than singing is more singing.

Ella Fitzgerald
