Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. Acts 26:24

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.

Oprah Winfrey

Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation - not cynicism and combat.

Rick Perry

But men are men the best sometimes forget.

William Shakespeare

Living, just by itself --what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom's the usher, there all the time to spy on you...

LouisFerdinand Celine, The narra

We are here on earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don't know.

W. H. Auden

Karl Weick

The miracle of life is given by One greater than ourselves, but once given, each life is ours to nurture and preserve, to foster, not only for today's world but for a better one to come. There is no purpose more noble than for us to sustain and celebrate life in a turbulent world, and that is what we must do now. We have no higher duty, no greater cause as humans. Life and the preservation of freedom to live it in dignity is what we are on this Earth to do. Everything we work to achieve must seek that end so that some day our prime ministers, our premiers, our presidents, and our general secretaries will talk not of war and peace, but only of peace.

Ronald Reagan

Samuel Johnson

Gary Bauer

Responsibility is a tremendous engine in a free government

Thomas Jefferson

In business, words are words explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.

Harold S. Geneen

When I pictured myself, it was always like just an outline in a colouring book, with the inside not yet completed.
