Favorite Quote:
What is written without effort is generally read without pleasure. -Dr. Samuel Johnson<br /> You never learn a foolproof formula for right and wrong, there is no checklist of good and bad. You have to keep an eye on yourself every minute of the day and ask: &#039;Should I be doing this?&#039; &#039;Would i want someone to do this to me?&#039; -Ben Skywalker<br /> <br /> If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else&#039;s, we&#039;d grab ours back.<br /> <br /> No man can be called friendless who has God and the companionship of good books. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning<br /> <br /> I divide all readers into two classes; those who read to remember and those who read to forget. ~William Lyon Phelps<br /> <br /> The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you the dawn is coming. -Harvey Dent<br /> <br /> &quot;The written word is a powerful thing. You have to be careful with it.&quot;<br /> -Mo <br /> <br /> If you pick any history at random any one at all, you will find the much the same story, seizure of power, the desire for expansion, and the inevitable inability to hold all that has been grabbed. The only variable is how long it took it to fall apart. The longest &ndash;lived empires were those with the lightest hand on the reigns. <br /> <br /> If God intented us to wear shoes he would have made us with them. :P<br /> <br /> The Road goes ever on and on <br /> Down from the door where it began.<br /> Now far ahead the Road has gone, <br /> And I must follow, If I can,<br /> Pursuing it with weary feet, <br /> Until it joins somem larger way <br /> Where many paths and errands meet. <br /> And whither then? I cannot say.<br /> J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring<br /> <br /> The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.<br /> <br /> To be yourself, forget yourself.<br /> <br /> Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot<br /> <br /> You cannot try&hellip; Either you do it or you don&rsquo;t&hellip;<br /> <br /> We must stand up for what&#039;s right, regardless the cost or chance of victory.<br /> <br /> There is Always Hope. -Aragorn <br /> <br /> Everywhere there is good but you just have to look for it.
