Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,

'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!

Ezra Pound

License they mean when they cry liberty.

John Milton

Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?

Mitch Albom

Patriotism has its roots deep in the instincts and the affections. Love of country is the expansion of dutiful love.

D. D. Field

My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened.

Michel de Montaigne

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Joseph Addison

A teacher affects eternity he can never tell where his influence stops.

Henry Adams

...The wife, soon to be a mother, could hardly catch her breath in the heavy, choking dust, for even in the pure air she breathed hard from her burden. Each jolt of the wagon, for those ahead had made wagon ruts almost 'ex' deep, wrung from her clenched lips a half-groan that she did her best to keep from the anxious, solicitous husband plodding slowly along, guiding and goading the poor dumb cattle, themselves weary from the long trek. So through the long day of jolting and discomfort and sometimes pain, sometimes panting for breath, the mother, anxious only that the unborn babe should not be injured, rode, for she could not walk; and the children walked, for the load was too heavy and big for them to ride; and the father walked sturdily alongside and prayed....Then the morning came when from out that last wagon floated the cry of the newborn babe, and mother love made a shrine, and Father bowed in reverence before it. But the train must move on. So out into the dust and dirt the last wagon moved again, swaying and jolting, while Mother eased as best she could each pain-giving jolt so no harm might be done her, that she might be strong to feed the little one, bone of her bone, flesh of her flesh. Who will dare to say that angels did not cluster round and guard her and ease her rude bed, for she had given another choice spirit its mortal body that it might work out its God-given destiny?

J. (Joshua) Reuben Clark, Jr., T

This was sheer idleness to my fellow-townsmen, no doubt; but if the birds and flowers had tried me by their standard, I should not have been found wanting. A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence.

Henry David Thoreau

The expedition of my violent love outrun the pauser, reason.

William Shakespeare

Ignore what you don't like. Insist what u need.

I don't know what is truth,but I can tell you how to find it!
