"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." - Elmer Davis

My interest is in the future because I'm going to spend the rest of my life there.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Intelligence is like a river: the deeper flows, the less noise it makes.

There are smiles that make us happy and some that make us blue. There are smiles that steal away the teardrops, as the sunbeams steal away the dew. There are smiles that have a tender meaning, that the eye of love alone may see. But the smiles that fill my life with sunshine are the smiles that you give to me.

You must sit apart from the world if you want to really know your place in it.

Sometimes the best sound the ear can hear is silence.

He who has a thing to sell and goes and whispers in a well is not so apt to get the dollars as he who climbs a tree and hollers.

Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.

Life marches on, so you'd better get on with it.

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.

The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.

Few rich men own their own property. The property owns them.

Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much.

To those of you who pushed me, thank you. Without you I wouldn't have fallen. To those of you who laughed at me, thank you. Without you I wouldn't have cried. To those of you who just couldn't love me, thank you. Without you I wouldn't have known what real love was. To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you. Without you I wouldn't have discovered myself. But it is to those of you who thought that I couldn't do it: It is you I thank the most, because without you I wouldn't have tried.
