The question is, will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system, or are we bold enough to see what's actually happening to our culture?

Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.

David Rudisha

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it, and believe me - it is fun, then fitness programs will be much more successful.

Alan Thicke

If someone talks about union, fidelity, a monogamous relationship, love, blessing I would say it sounds like marriage to me. And blessing, you see, I think is undermining our sacrament of marriage.

George Carey

Be sweet, be good, and honest always.

Emma Bunton

We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life -- some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous to see the helplessness of some sweet women when their affections are disappointed -- because all their teaching has been, that they can only delight in study of any kind for the sake of a personal love. They have never contemplated an independent delight in ideas as an experience which they could confess without being laughed at. Yet surely women need this defense against passionate affliction even more than men.

George Eliot

The world we live in might not be free from pain, but you have the ability to create for yourself a world free from struggle.

Sheila Applegate

Physical love is unthinkable without violence.

Milan Kundera

The chief knowledge that a man gets from reading books is the knowledge that very few of them are worth reading.

H. L. Mencken

We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow.

Jonathan Westover

Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.

Angus Young

We love having the freedom that we have with the web; I mean, we don't have to answer to anybody. We have complete creative control; we don't have to worry about FCC regulations.

Emma Caulfield

When Jerry Lewis and I were big, we used to go to parties, and everybody thought I was big-headed and stuck up, and I wasn't. It was because I didn't know how to speak good English, so I used to keep my mouth shut.
