A lot of people over time have had this kind of pattern in their relationship with Bill Clinton. You first meet him and you're overwhelmed by his talent. He's so energetic and articulate and full of ideas and he calls himself a congenital optimist and that optimism is contagious.

To die,so young to die.No, no, not I,I love the warm sunny skies,light, song, shining eyes,I want no war, no battle cry,No, no, not I.

Hannah Senesh

My life is like a stroll upon the beach, As near the ocean's edge as I can go.

Henry David Thoreau

Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

John Keats

I hold it true, whatever befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Impiety. Your irreverence toward my deity.

Ambrose Bierce

There's no question that a great teacher can make a huge difference in a student's achievement, and we need to recruit, train and reward more such teachers. But here's what some new studies are also showing: We need better parents. Parents more focused on their children's education can also make a huge difference in a student's achievement.

Thomas Friedman

Why kill time when one can employ it.

No amount of ability is of the slightest avail without honor.

Thomas Carlyle

Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.

Victor Hugo

Those that are firm in their will mold the world to themselves.

Johann von Goethe

All are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alone

Ralph Waldo Emerson
