Thomas Jefferson

Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.

Peter McWilliams

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.

Albert Einstein

George Leigh Mallory

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

Ray Bradbury

Source Unknown

Home is where the heart is.

Pliny the Elder

World-view is a product of life-view, not vice versa.

Albert Schweitzer

Ron Rash

Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn't pass my friend's sixth-grade class.

Michelle Williams
