Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways.

As long as I can concentrate and remain somewhat calm, I can normally do very well.

Al Oerter

If I don't fish in the morning, I fish in the evening.

Dion Sanders

The great God endows His children variously. To some he gives intellect -- and they move the earth. To some he allots heart -- and the beating pulse of humanity is theirs. But to some He gives only a soul, without intelligence -- and these, who never grow up, but remain always His children, are God's fools, kindly, elemental, simple, as if from His palette the Artist of all had taken one color instead of many.

Mary Roberts Rinehart

All music is beautiful.

Billy Strayhorn

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

Sally Kirkland

the giver of life, who gave it for happiness and not for wretchedness.

Thomas Jefferson

In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.

Saint John of the Cross

Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer concern the Great Powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by wind and water and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war--or war will put an end to mankind.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, The Rol

Friends love misery... our misery is what endears us to our friends.

Erica Jong

All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.

Neil Armstrong

Fortune favors the prepared mind.

Louis Pasteur

Great eagerness in the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, or honor, cannot exist without sin.

Desiderius Erasmus
