By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.

The vote is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have.

John Lewis

Dreams must be heeded and accepted. For a great many of them come true.

Paracelsus

I think of you oftenand make no outward show,But what it means to lose you, no one will ever knowYou wished no one farewell, not even said good-bye,You were gone before I knew it,and only God knows why.You are not forgottennor will you ever be,As long as life and memories last, I will remember thee.To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past,But to me who loved you dearly, your memories will always last.Nothing can be more beautifulthan the memories I have of you.To me, you were someone special,God must have thought so too!If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane,I would walk all the way to Heaven,and bring you back again.

Anon.

The demand for certainty is one which is natural to man, but is nevertheless an intellectual vice.

Bertrand Russell

I learned patience, perseverance, and dedication. Now I really know myself, and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.

Anthony Hamilton

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

Alexander Smith

Give your children big truths they will grow into rather than light explanations they will grow out of.

Tedd Tripp

For seventeen hundred years the Christian sect has done nothing but harm

Voltaire

I've got tapes that I'm so thankful that my father made - old reel-to-reel tapes. I've got a ton of those things at home. He kept those like fine diamonds, I mean he kept them, you know, in a box and was very, very careful of them, you know.

Ricky Skaggs

Nothing focuses the mind better than the constant sight of a competitor who wants to wipe you off the map.

Wayne Calloway

So many reality shows are scripted and create this fake drama, and it's a bunch of bull. We wanted to do something real and something wholesome and something that's focused on positive family values.

Bill Rancic

A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.

Steve Winwood
