marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.” (Pablo Picasso) “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (Maya Angelou) “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) "There are people who go after your humanity... that tell you that the light in your heart is a weakness. Don't believe it. It's an old tactic of cruel people to kill kindness in the name of virtue." (from "Doubt") "One time there was this lake... And it was right outside of town. And one November, this big flock of ducks came in and landed on that lake. And then the temperature dropped so fast that the lake just froze right there!! And the ducks flew off and they took that lake right with them. Now they say that lake is somewhere over in Georgia. Can you imagine that?" (Fried Green Tomatoes) "Needless to say we didn’t have Facebook when I was growing up. We had Phonebook, but you wouldn’t waste an afternoon on it. Yes, we had poking. But it wasn’t something you did on a computer. It was something you did on a hayride. Under a blanket." (Betty White on SNL) "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it. Then, there is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend. The sky is less grand as it shuts down over less worth in the population." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” (Emerson) "If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile." (Emerson) "But I went to the funeral." "Yup, but it doesn't make up for killing her." (Seinfeld) "Quit harshing my mellow." (? - Urban slang) "Chillax homeslice." (Billy - Urban slang) "Get busy living, or get busy dying." (Shawshank Redemption) "Excellence does not require perfection." (Henry James) "It seems so many people our age seem to have flat-lined, even though still breathing, ya know?" (Me!!!!) "Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain) "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." (Ferris Bueller) "It's tough for the eternal optimist to deal with disillusionment." (KK)".
