Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.

Truth is truth To the end of reckoning.

William Shakespeare

Once one determines that he or she has a mission in life, that's it's not going to be accomplished without a great deal of pain, and that the rewards in the end may not outweigh the pain --if you recognize historically that always happens, then when it comes, you survive it.

Richard Milhous Nixon

Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Aldous Huxley

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Plutarch

We live in a world which is full of misery and ignorance, and the plain duty of each and all of us is to try to make the little corner he can influence somewhat less miserable and somewhat less ignorant than it was before he entered it.

Thomas Henry Huxley

If the road is easy, you're likely going the wrong way.

Terry Goodkind

As far as the girls in my grade, it was always kind of an on-and-off thing. When all this came up, it was kind of hard. My guy friends and my family friends have been so amazing and supportive.

Stacie Orrico

Letters couldn't care less whether what is written with them is true or false.

Augusto Roa Bastos

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Abraham Lincoln

Mom would kill me if I showed my navel.

Brandy Norwood

Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.

Andre Maurois

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale.
