The next time you have a thought... let it go.

Ron White

Elbert Hubbard

The value of a good education has never left me.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Given her deafness, the auditory part of the brain, deprived of its usual input, had started to generate a spontaneous activity of its own, and this took the form of musical hallucinations, mostly musical memories from her earlier life. The brain needed to stay incessantly active, and if it was not getting its usual stimulation..., it would create its own stimulation in the form of hallucinations.

Oliver Sacks

As a mom, I don't have much time for beauty.

Samuel Johnson

We never really had any kind of a Christmas. This is one part where my memory fails me completely.

Frank McCourt

Receive what cheer you may. The night is long that never finds the day.

And I have to point out that government doesn't tax to get the money it needs, government always needs the money it gets.

Ronald Reagan
