Give a man a dollar and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ and you change his heart. Then the dollar and the dream become meaningful to him, and to others.

A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.

Charles Chaplin

Our life is made by the death of others.

Leonardo da Vinci

Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.

E. B. White

Being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in.

Hank Azaria

Absent a sense of the preciousness of one's own life, why respect the life of anyone else?

Kentetsu Takamori

Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god -- Society, The State, The Government, The Commune -- must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.

Rose Wilder Lane

How much do you engage yourself in what's truly real and important in life? That's the individual question.

Ted Danson

Be good, keep your feet dry, your eyes open, your heart at peace and your soul in the joy of Christ.

Thomas Merton

I never thought that heav'n would lose its blue And sullen storm-clouds mask the gentle sky; I never thought the rose's velvet hue Would pale and sicken, though we said good-by. I never dreamed the lark would hush its note As day succeeded ever-drearier day, Nor knew the song that swelled the robin's throat Would fade to silence, when you went away. I never knew the sun's irradiant beams Upon the brooding earth no more would shine, Nor thought that only in my mocking dreams Would happiness that once I knew be mine. I never thought the slim moon, mournfully, Would shroud her pallid self in murky night. Dear heart, I never thought these things would be-I never thought they would, and I was right.

Dorothy Parker, Absence

O, she's warm!If this be magic, let it be an artLawful as eating.

William Shakespeare

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

Stevie Wonder

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

Billie Jean King
