Some people spend so much time hunting treasure that they fail to see it all around them. It's like sifting through gold to find the silt.

Everyone has problems. It's how you choose to deal with them. Some people choose to be whiners some choose to be winners. Some choose to be victims some choose to be victors.

I see people getting so caught up in celebrating diversity that they are neglecting their commonality. I don't see this as a good thing. The Chinese culture has survived for more than five thousand years in part because the Chinese have embraced the same language and culture. I hope I am wrong about this, and that the flame is still on beneath the great American melting pot. Americans need each other, and a house divided, no matter the color of its occupants, is still divided. And divided we all fall.

People aren't wired to be alone. Even in the stressful population of prison, solitary confinement is still considered a cruel punishment.

To choose the path is to choose the destination, but sometimes it seems that the path is under our feet even before we know we're walking.
