Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.
---Regina Brett in the Cleveland Plain Dealer
No matter how deep the shadows may be how sharp the conflicts how tense the
mistrust, we are not permitted to forget that we have too much in common too
great a sharing of interests and too much that we might lose together for
ourselves and for succeeding generations ever to weaken in our efforts to
surmount the difficulties and to turn the simple human values which are our
common heritage into a firm foundation on which we may unite our strength
and live together in peace.
---Dag Hammerskjold
A computer is like an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy.
--- Joseph Campbell
"Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to
all mankind."
"Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care."
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
---The three quotes above are from Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an
obligation; every possession, a duty.
I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that
government is the servant of the people and not their master.
I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world
owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a
living.
I believe that thrift is essential to well ordered living and that economy
is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government,
business or personal affairs.
I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social
order.
I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as
good as his bond; that character -- not wealth or power or position -- is of
supreme worth.
I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind
and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness
consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.
I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and
that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest happiness, and widest
usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with His will.
I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can
overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.
