The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.

There is much the government can do and should do to improve the environment. But even more important is the individual who plants a tree or cleans a corner of neglect. For it is the individual who himself benefits, and also protects a heritage of beauty for his children and future generations.

The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.

Then there's the joy of getting your desk clean, and knowing that all your letters are answered, and you can see the wood on it again.

A little stress and adventure is good for you, if nothing else, just to prove you are alive.

How lucky we are to have such a treasure of memories.

Every living person and thing responds to beauty. We all thirst for it. We receive strength and renewal by seeing stirring and satisfying sites.
