We need a great president.

What is, is; and what ain't, ain't

Joseph E. Granville

Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot if difference. They don't have to makes speeches. Just believing is usually enough.

Stephen King

Children have a natural antipathy to books - handicraft should be the basis of education. Boys and girls should be taught to use their hands to make something, and they would be less apt to destroy and be mischievous.

Oscar Wilde

The purpose of thinking about the future is not to predict it but to raise people's hopes.

Freeman Dyson

I would rather have my ignorance than another man's knowledge, because I have so much of it.

Mark Twain

I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.

Robin Day

If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be thus placed in order, that it is a good and pleasing arrangement in the room, this ordered and tranquil adjustment of theirs -- then their remaining in their places, quiet and silent, is the result of a species of lesson, not an imposition. To make them understand the idea, without calling their attention too forcibly to the practice, to have them assimilate a principle of collective order -- that is the important thing.

Maria Montessori

I heard the old, old, men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away, like the waters.'

William Butler Yeats

Never give advice unless asked.

Proverb

Once I thought ideas were exceptions not the rule. That is not so. Ideas are so plentiful that they ride by on air. You've only to reach out and snatch one...

Rod Mckeun

I didn't know that anything was wrong with me until the media got involved in my life.

Kelly Osbourne

When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us?
