Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

Winston Churchill

Rene Magritte

My old teacher's definition of poetry is an attempt to understand.

Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.

Larry McMurtry

Benjamin Franklin

Kahlil Gibran

Tammy Bruce

Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.

Wayne Dyer
