Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life.

All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.

Sir Walter Scott

It is not enough to merely defend democracy. To defend it may be to lose it; to extend it is to strengthen it. Democracy is not property; it is an idea.

Hubert Humphrey

The madder it makes you, the harder you need to laugh at it.

Destiny Booze

Take care that the face that looks out from the mirror in the morning is a pleasant face. You may not see it again during the day, but others will.

Anon.

Speak the truth and shame the devil.

Proverb

I love surprises - champagne and strawberries, all that pampering, romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.

Danica McKellar

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Harvey Fierstein

I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.

Martin Luther

Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike.

George Eliot

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.

Barbara de Angelis

My dreams came true while wearing the opening look from the spring/summer 2010 Dior ready-to-wear collection. I will never forget how special I felt opening John Galliano's show, like I was living a dream.

Karlie Kloss

Eclecticism. Every truth is so true that any truth must be false.
