My look tender touches the horizon, Underneath the lights of the city Small luminaries, so far but so close, Like fireflies buzzling around. And there she was Darkening all...

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
