Walt WhitmanBut now we have a choice: whether to implode and disintegrate emotionally and spiritually as a people and a nation - or, whether we choose to become stronger through all of this struggle - to rebuild on a solid foundation.

Billy GrahamPrepare thy soul calmly to obey; such offering will be more acceptable to God than every other sacrifice

Ernest HemingwayI’d go gay for her. She was a fascinating and exotic woman. There was so much to admire about her. She lived life to the full, maybe a little too fully. I want to release the inner Tallulah in me. God knows I can’t get a man - so maybe I should cross over [on Tallulah Bankhead]

Chester W NimitzAll the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
Charles A BeardIf you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents.
