Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle repliedThat maybe it couldn't, but he would be oneWho wouldn't say so till he'd tried.So he buckled right in with the trace of a grinOn his face. If he worried he hid it.He started to sing as he tackled the thingThat couldn't be done, and he did it.

A story once went the rounds of Israel to the effect that Ben-Gurion described me as 'the only man' in his cabinet. What amused me about is that he (or whoever invented the story) thought that this was the greatest compliment that could be paid to a woman. I very much doubt that any man would have been flattered if I had said about him that he was the only woman in the government!

Golda Meir

James Allen

I hate the day, because it lendeth light To see all things, but not my love to see.

Edmund Spenser

Julie Hardesty

Brigitte Bardot

The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.

Leonardo da Vinci

Sometimes you have to give up on people not because YOU don't care but because THEY don't.

AMAN KUMAR

Men employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

Voltaire

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

Phil Jackson
