No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage, which they will climb incontinent, or else be incontinent before marriage.

There is no higher value in our society than integrity.

Henry David Thoreau

Bobby Rahal

Pete Coors

Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards? The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle--it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key. It's not an act of bitterness. It's an act if self-preservation. It's not always a bad idea to stay behind the window and look out at life instead, is it?

Ally Condie

The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.

Norman Vincent Peale

We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.

Woodrow Wilson

It s not just enough to swing at the ball. You've got to loosen your girdle and really let the ball have it.
