A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.

We are living at a time when creeds and ideologies vary and clash. But the gospel of human sympathy is universal and eternal.

Samuel Hopkins Adams

Albert Camus

Torquato Tasso

Love will turn the whole world into something greater than itself.

George Crabbe

Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.

Lazarus Long

Marilyn Monroe

The well adjusted make poor prophets. A pleasant existence blinds us to the possibilities of drastic change. We cling to what we call our common sense, our practical point of view. Actually, these are names for an all-absorbing familiarity with things as they are.... Thus it happens that when the times become unhinged, it is the practical people who are caught unaware...still clinging to things that no longer exist.

Eric Hoffer

Edward T. Hall
