A man's labor is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilize it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilization.

William Booth

I love music.

Shania Twain

Be not penny-wise. Riches have wings. Sometimes they fly away of themselves, and sometimes they must be set flying to bring in more.

Francis Bacon

Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.

Robert Collier

I'd say that after my father passed my writing changed, it went deeper. Most would say 'matured' but I don't think I'd use that word in relation to my progress. I think 'change' is a little more accurate.

Fred Rogers

The most dire disaster in love is the death of imagination.

George Meredith

Hans Hofmann

The computer is your passport, not only to the future but to knowing what's going around you.

Michael Nutter

In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.

Dalai Lama
