Everything in high school seems like the most important thing that's ever happened in your life. It's not. You'll get out of high school and you never see those people again. All the people who torment and press you won't make a difference in your life in the long haul.

Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself.

L. Wolfe Gilbert

Christina Aguilera

There have been many great men that have flattered the people who ne'er loved them.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

Come rain or shine I walk short distances rather than taking my car.

The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.
