For it was not so much that by means of words I came to a complete understanding of things, as that from things I somehow had an experience which enabled me to follow the meaning of words.

Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

Marcus Aurelius

I am here to give the American people some straight talk about higher education. Some have said we might have cut financial aid for college students. The truth is we have expanded access to college for our neediest students through the record growth of the Pell grant program.

Please live. Talk, think, act. And sometimes listen to the music... Look at paintings and at times be moved. Laugh a lot, and at times, cry. And if you find a wonderful girl, then you go for her and love her.

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era, completely throw the poem into a different time scale.

Robert Morgan

America's founding fathers did not intend to take religion out of education. Many of the nation's greatest universities were founded by evangelists and religious leaders; but many of these have lost the founders concept and become secular institutions. Because of this attitude, secular education is stumbling and floundering.

Billy Graham

I enjoy the element of pushing yourself, learning something new, whether it's a dance step, a scene, an emotion.

Kenny Wormald

Most of us spend our lives as if we had another one in the bank.

Ben Irwin

Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.

George Bernard Shaw

Don't dwell on reality; it will only keep you from greatness.

Rev. Randall R. McBride, Jr.

We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later.

Louis Aragon

Hank, when people call people nerds mostly what they're saying is,'You like stuff'.

John Green

I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.
