O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

If you drink don't drive. Don't even putt.

Dean Martin

My big running discovery was around Stanley Park in Vancouver. Miss it. That's a six-mile loop. Now I smile when I get four miles done. Age is a beast.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

Corrie Ten Boom

This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.

Walter Lippmann
