Max Lucado


A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

Roosevelt, Eleanor


Anger is only one letter short of danger.

Paul Valery


...in song the words tend to lose their significance, do often lose it, while at the other extreme, in current prose it is the musical value that tends to disappear - so that verse stands symmetrically, as it were, between song, on the one hand, and prose on the other - and is thus admirably and delicately balanced between the sensual and the intellectual power of language.

George Bernard Shaw


Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

George Eliot


Wear a smile and have friends,
wear a scowl and have wrinkles.

William Shakespeare


Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.

Gertrude Stein


Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.

George Washington


Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.
