They will say you are on the wrong road, if it is your own.

Toys tossed on the floor Hand prints on the wallSlamming of the doorAnd footsteps down the hallBoxes made into towersCovers turned into tentsVoices get a lil' louderGuide lines get a lil' bentBoxes now go untouchedCovers in a folded pileSilence never was so muchGuide lines never been n' awhileDid we waste our time a wayWe once had back thenNever taking time to playTo 'oft we walked right past themNow they're grown and gone The house stands still and neatOnly memories left to carry onOh, how our hearts do often weepWould we change time if we could?Would we play a bigger part?Did we get too wrapped up in the world?For now we're left with justMemories of the heart.

E. Nesbit

I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.

C.S. Lewis

The qualities most needed are charity and tolerance, not some form of fanatical faith such as is offered to us by the various rampant isms

Bertrand Russell

Let us have sweet girl graduates by all means. They will be none the less sweet for a little wisdom; and the golden hair will not curl less gracefully outside the head by reason of there being brains within.

Thomas Henry Huxley

If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.

Lenny Bruce

Meek wifehood is no part of my profession; I am your friend, but never your possession.

Vera Brittain

I could never drive in a great big car people like me because I'm a man of the people, a hustler.

Terry McAuliffe

Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.
