There was a time when a fool and his money were soon parted, but now it happens to everybody.

Loyalty is something you give regardless of what you get back, and in giving loyalty, you're getting more loyalty; and out of loyalty flow other great qualities.

Charles ''Tremendous'' Jones

When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.

Lauryn Hill

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

John C. Maxwell

The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themseleves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest. Difficult tasks are a priviledge to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Chastity - you can carry it too far

Mark Twain

I know a lot of people think it's monotonous, down the black lines over and over, but it's not if you're enjoying what you're doing. I love to swim and I love to train.

Tracy Caulkins

If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well. James 2:8

Goals should be SMART: S = Specific M = Measurable A = Assignable (who does what) R = Realistic T = Time-Related

Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.

Ursula K. LeGuin

The function of genius is to furnish cretins with ideas twenty years later.

Louis Aragon

Value is the way animal interest and partiality are experienced in consciousness. As such, they involve a relation between objects of pursuit, animal tendencies and the intuited moral essences the psyche projects on what it seeks. We cannot speak of virtue and vice, therefore, without taking the needs and the desires, the very nature of the animal into account. These natures are diverse and changeable; any overlap between them is a contingent matter of fact. Moral truth thus becomes empirical truth about morality, a prosaic catalogue of who prizes what, a record of the moral history of the world rather than a guide to its correct development.

John Lachs

It's still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it's the truth even if it didn't happen.

Ken Kesey
