In great straits and when hope is small, the boldest counsels are the safest.

Creativity takes courage.

Henri Matisse

When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog - big as a donkey.

Ray Davies

Eleanor Roosevelt

I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I cant change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.

Charles de Lint

Nothing destroys a team quite so quickly as inaccurate passing.Nothing builds a team's confidence more rapidly than accurate passing.Without good team-work accurate passing is impossible... The more successful passes a player makes the better he is likely to play and the more he is likely to want to play. The art of passing in Association Football is very largely the art of doing the simple things quickly and well.http://www.bettersoccermorefun.com/dwtext/d&dpass.htm

Excellent things are rare.

Plato

...when I see you, I see mystery - a pale moon's beauty behind a veil of cloud...

Somebody left the cork out of my lunch.
