The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

Not from without us, only from within, Comes or can ever come upon us light Whereby the soul keeps ever truth in sight. No truth, no strength, no comfort man may win, No grace for guidance, no release from sin, Save of his own soul's giving.

What we know of other people's only our memory of the moments during which we knew them.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

The home is the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose, and that is to support the ultimate career.

C.S. Lewis

Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things.
