"Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke

You are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I'd still be on my feet
-A Case Of You, Joni Mitchell

"There is nothing new under the sun but there are lots of old things we don't know"
-Author unknown

"A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila."

"To laugh often and much: To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded"
-Emerson

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Emerson

"Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed."
- Michael Pritchard

"A sense of humor doesn't mean the ability to tell jokes or make wisecracks. It's a sense of proportion and the courage to smile. It's the ability to take yourself and your problems with a grain of salt, the ability to smile at yourself and the world as well."
- John Luther

"I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend."
- Abraham Lincoln

"Did you see the pictures of the moon? They must have the same
gardener I have."
- Harry Hershfield

"Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power."
- Shirley MacLaine

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.
