Karen Marie MoningIn almost any change there is 20 - 60 - 20. 20% are doing the change and we need to stay out of their way. 20% will never get there (a large percent still go into banks to see tellers vs. ATMs). 60% are in the middle.

It's still not healed, it's still bugging me here, but I'm doing what I can.

Robert H. SchullerI was sat at the bottom of the garden a week ago, smoking a reflective cheroot, thinking about this and that - mostly that, and I just happened to glance at the night sky and I marvelled at the millions of stars glistening like pieces of quicksilver thrown carelessly onto black velvet.

William GoldmanEvery modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet.
