with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."-- Calvin Coolidge
"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a
precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard

But I feel that it's us --the messed up, the half-crazy, the burning, the questing- that need God, a lot more than the goody-two-shoes do." -- Mike Doughty -Musician
