have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep<br /> -Robert Frost<br /> We learn from history that we learn nothing from history<br /> -GB Shaw<br /> &quot;Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.&quot; O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?&quot; &quot;The course of true love never did run smooth.&quot; Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.&quot; &quot;It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not.&quot; &quot;If you judge people, you have no time to love them.&quot;<br /> ... -Romeo and Juliet<br /> <br /> Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. <br /> - Allan Moore<br /> <br /> Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici (By the power of truth I, while living, have conquered the universe)<br /> - Faust<br /> <br /> &quot;Conceal me what I am, and be my aid<br /> For such disguise as haply shall become<br /> The form of my intent.&quot; <br /> -Twelfth Night 1.2.53-55<br /> <br /> <br /> There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft....When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife&#039;s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone&#039;s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness<br /> - Khaled HosseiniSee More

Favorite Quote:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.<br /> If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.<br /> If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.<br /> If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.<br /> What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.<br /> If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.<br /> The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.<br /> Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you&#039;ve got anyway.<br /> You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.<br /> -Mother Teresa

&lrm;&quot;We live in a universe in which there are laws, just as there is a law of gravity. If you fall off a building it doesn&#039;t matter if you&#039;re a good person or a bad person, you&#039;re going to hit the ground.&quot;<br /> - Mickael Bernard Beckwith
