hat God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. ~Susan B. Anthony Attempting to debate with a person who has abandoned reason is like giving medicine to the dead. ~Thomas Payne You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe? Expediency asks the question: Is it political? Vanity asks the question: Is it popular? But conscience asks the question: Is it right? And there comes a time when one must take the position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular - but one must take it because it is right. ~Martin Luther King, Jr. Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. ~C.S. Lewis I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak. ~Lillian Hellman How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. ~George Washington Carver The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. ~Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us. ~Robert Louis Stevenson Finish every day and be done with it.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~Margaret Mead, US anthropologist (1901 - 1978) When the student is ready. . . the lesson appears. ~Gene Oliver Don't trade in your beliefs for a quiet life. Only by your own hands will your dreams be realized. ~Heather Elyse Dorsten Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock. ~Sigmund Freud If I knew the world was coming to an end, I would go to Cincinnati because everything happens ten years later in Cincinnati. ~Mark Twain".
