Truth is always the sum of two half truths and one never catches them at the same time!

One had better die fighting against injustice than die like a dog or a rat in a trap.

Clare Short

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

William Shakespeare

This past year has been something else... it's opened my eyes to many things and many people. It's had its ups and downs and ins and outs. And I believe we've all been able to take something from that and grow in our own imparticular ways. We've over come obstacles, and set in motion opportunities that can change our own individual lives.

Patty Berg, on her 80th birthday

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.

Jack White

Never again will I underestimate the greatness inside of me just because of the hate and limited thinking inside of others.

Steve Maraboli

The glory of the day was in her face, The beauty of the night was in her eyes.

James Weldon Johnson

Francis Bacon

I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.

Jeb Bush

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.

Adrienne Rich

Slowness to change usually means fear of the new.

Phil Crosby
