"Always behave like a duck - keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath."
-Jacob Braude

"Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
-1 Corinthians 13

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
-Henry David Thoreau

"Some people measure their lives in pulse rates and sit-ups. Far better to measure yours in licks of ice cream, well-told jokes, mad dashes to be first in the water, belly laughs. And, when you die, it won't be an erratic shift in your heart rate, it will be an overdose of mirth, fun poisoning, death by laughter."

i'm not sure who wrote these, but here goes...

"That's about as useful as a condom in a convent."

"Looked in the mirror man, what did I see
Is this really who I am, or what I'm trying to be?
I laugh when they tell me to find myself
Cause when you're looking for yourself
Who do you ask for help?"

"You have so many opportunities I never had
Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
And this talent that you take for granted, it's a gift from god
Don't pass it up, nothing is ever easy
Are you ready to work real hard
Are you tired it's just the start
Listen to me son, I'll take you far
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
I never got to be your Fred Astaire"

"DonÕt tell me itÕs alright
DonÕt tell me the past can save me now
I can tell that itÕs not right
Is it the struggle that keeps us fighting?"
