July 4th is the 5th.

So you treat your love like a firefly, like it only gets to shine for a little while.Catch it in a mason jar, with holes in the top, and run like hell to show it off.

Miranda Lambert

I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I'm really bad at it. I'm just a terrible drawer. I can't draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can't draw a straight line.

Daniel Radcliffe

A team is a team is a team. Shakespeare said that many times.

Dan Devine

The only reason for the existence of a novel is that it does attempt to represent life.

Henry James

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated

Mahatma Gandhi

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

Baruch Spinoza

If we can't accept what we don't know, there really is no hope.

Rachel Joyce

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

Joe DiMaggio

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.

Plato

Even if I was well - I must make myself as good a Philosopher as possible. Now I have had opportunities of passing nights anxious and awake I have found other thoughts intrude upon me. If I should die, said I to myself, I have left no immortal work behind me - nothing to make my friends proud of my memory - but I have lov'd the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remember'd.http://englishhistory.net/keats/letters/brawnefebruary1820.html

John Keats, Letter to Fanny Braw

Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.

Robert H. Schuller

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

Gustave Flaubert
