Albert Einstein

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory;
Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
= = = = = = = = = =
C. S. Lewis

= = = = = = = = = =

If we can not trust a freeman with his right to keep and bear arms, then how can we trust him with the right to vote. Surely the right of a freeman to vote has a much greater effect on our collective lives than does any individual's firearm. If one argues that the effect of any one freeman's vote is minimal, then why allow it in the first place To be armed is to secure one's right to representation.
= = = = = = = = = =
W. Edwards Deming
What we need to do is learn to work in the system, by which I mean that everybody, every team, every platform, every division, every component is there not for individual competitive profit or recognition, but for contribution to the system as a whole on a win-win basis.
= = = = = = = = = =
Mark Twain
There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.

Simeon Strunsky, No Mean City (1944)
People who want to understand democracy should spend less time in the library with Aristotle and more time on the buses and in the subway.
= = = = = = = = = =
Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.
= = = = = = = = = =
Shelly Roberts
If male homosexuals are called gay, then female homosexuals should be called ecstatic.
