Alfred Lord TennysonFreedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit. People, worldwide, hunger for the right of self-determination, for those inalienable rights that make for human dignity and progress. America must remain freedom's staunchest friend, for freedom is our best ally and it is the world's only hope to conquer poverty and preserve peace.

Carl SandburgHow many of us will be saved the pain of seeing the most important things in our lives disappearing from one moment to the next?

Gabrielle ZevinHeaven has its business and earth has its business: those are two separate things. Heaven, that's the angels' pasture; they are happy; they don't have to fret about food and drink.

Jeffrey ZeldmanWe flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest; And deal full many a thoughtless blow, To those who love us best.

There is new strength, repose of mind, and inspiration in fresh apparel.

So, do I let him have what for, and blow my top? I do not. I simply say: Sorry, I believe I said 'very dry'.
