T. Clay Sanders
Your love will last forever, If you do not expect her to walk the same path, But you look in the same direction.
= = = = = = = = = =
Lyster
For the memory of love is sweet, though the love itself were in vain. And what I have lost of pleasure, assuage what I find of pain.
= = = = = = = = = =
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The faith that stand on authority is not faith.

Tom Robbins
Meditation... disolves the mind. It erases itself. Throws the ego out on its big brittle ass.
= = = = = = = = = =
Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th earl of Chesterfield, 1749
That ready wit, which you so partially allow me, ... may create many admirers; but, take my word for it, it makes few friends. It shines and dazzles like the noonday sun, but, like that, too, it is very apt to scorch, and therefore is always feared. The milder morning and evening light and heat of that planet soothe and calm our minds. Never seek for wit; if it present itself, well and good; but even then, let your judgement interpose, and take care that it be not at the expense of anybody.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.

Hermann Hesse
Knowledge can be communicated, but wisdom cannot. A man can find it, he can live it, he can be filled and sustained by it, but he cannot utter or teach it.
= = = = = = = = = =
Edmund Burke
It is by imitation, far more than by precept, that we learn everything; and what we learn thus, we acquire not only more efficiently, but more pleasantly. This forms our manners, our opinions, our lives.

Benjamin Disraeli, campaign speech at High Wycombe, England, November 27, 1832
I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.
= = = = = = = = = =
Napolean Hill
What the mind of man can conceive and believe, It can achieve.
= = = = = = = = = =
Kobsak Chutikul, (deputy leader in Thailand), AP news release 3/7/03
For all its flaws, I would feel safer to have my children grow up in a world dominated by the United States than by any other country.
