Workshops and seminars are basically financial speed dating for clueless people.

How horrible it is to have so many people killed! And what a blessing that one cares for none of them!

Jane Austen

I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great.

Isaac Watts

The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.

Aldous Huxley

The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.

Lyndon B. Johnson

We are not here concerned with hopes or fears, only with truth as far as our reason permits us to discover it.

Charles Darwin

Humor is reason gone mad.

Groucho Marx

This light of history is pitiless; it has a strange and divine quality that, luminous as it is, and precisely because it is luminous, often casts a shadow just where we saw a radiance; out of the same man it makes two different phantoms, and the one attacks and punishes the other, the darkness of the despot struggles with the splendor of the captain. Hence a truer measure in the final judgment of the nations. Babylon violated diminishes Alexander; Rome enslaved diminishes Caesar; massacred Jerusalem diminishes Titus. Tyranny follows the tyrant. Woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form.

Victor Hugo

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot, (wide

Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.

Francis Bacon

Well in the end the world can crank itself up to sanctions, as it has with Zimbabwe, another sad case.

Helen Clark

I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else.

Earl Weaver

Secretary Powell and I agree on every single issue that has ever been before this administration except for those instances where Colin's still learning.
