If you want to use a cliche you must take full responsibility for it yourself and not try to fob it off on anon., or on society.

A farce or comedy is best played; a tragedy is best read at home.

Abraham Lincoln

I want to improve TSA's counterterrorism focus through intelligence and cutting edge technology, support the TSA workforce, and strengthen the agency's relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public. All of these priorities are interconnected and are vital to TSA's mission - and I would say, all of our collective mission.

As regards this vice, we read that the peacock is more guilty of it than any other animal. For it is always contemplating the beauty of its tail, which it spreads in the form of a wheel, and by its cries attracts to itself the gaze of the creatures that surround it. And this is the last vice to be conquered.

Leonardo DaVinci, note book

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

John Keats

All that is not given is lost.

Rabindranath Tagore

Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

William Allen White

The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change, but our view of beauty stays the same.

Hugh Hefner

What we determine we often break. Purpose is but the slave to memory.

William Shakespeare

The stories we love best do live in us forever. So, whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

J. K. Rowling

of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house.

C.S. Lewis

I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.

Charles Kuralt

I am beginning to see that all my troubles have their root in a habitual and absolute dependence upon my personal prestige, security, and romantic attachment. When these things go wrong, there is depression. Now this absolute dependence upon people and situations for emotional security is, I think, the immense and devastating fallacy that makes us miserable. This craving for such dependencies, this utter dependence upon people and situations, can only lead to conflict. Both on the surface and at depth. We are making demands on circumstances and people that are bound to fail us. The only safe and sure channel of absolute dependence is upon God himself.

Bill Wilson, Letter, April, 1953
