To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

No enterprise, small or large, public or private, can remain self-governing, let alone successful, so deeply in hock to others as we are about to be.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1 Corinthians 15:55

Bible

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

Edgar Degas

When the archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bull's eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim -- improve yourself.

Desiderius Erasmus

Christianity is not the faith of the complacent, the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls like Wesley, Wilberforce, Bonhoeffer, John Paul the Second, and Billy Graham. Each showed, in their own way, the relentless and powerful influence of the message of Jesus Christ.

Mitt Romney

Under any conditions, anywhere, whatever you are doing, there is some ordinance under which you can be booked.
