It is not good enough for things to be planned - they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.

The best break anybody ever gets is in bein' alive in the first place. An' you don't unnerstan' what a perfect deal it is until you realizes that you ain't gone be stuck with it forever, either.

Some is more equal than others, as is well known. (Tammananny Tiger)

Having lost sight of our objectives, we redoubled our efforts.

There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.

A lump in the throat is worth two on the head.

Food for thought is no substitute for the real thing.
