Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

If God's power is absolute, and absolute power corrupt's absolutely...what is God?

The only bigger fool than the fool himself is the fool who argues with him.

Work like you don't need the money...Love like you've never been hurt...And dance like nobody is watching.

One sword keeps another in its sheath-George Herbert

Heav'n has no Rage like Love to Hatred turn'd, nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.

Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest. --Mark Twain

God made many religions for many different people. What is important is to follow the road with and honest heart. A cake may be eaten from the top, or from the side, it still tastes as sweet.

When they came for the Jews i said nothing, for I wasn't a Jew. When they came for the Catholics I said nothing, for I wasn't a Catholic.When they came for the Gypsies I said nothing, for I wasn't a Gypsy. And when they came for me, there was no one left to say anything.

"An old strong beer, a pipe that stings and bites...
a girl in Sunday's clothes - these three are my delights!"


What shall I shun? Whose guidance borrow?
Shall I accept this stress and strife?
Yea every deed of ours, no less than every sorrow...
Impedes the onward march of life"


"As the crowd sway, unbelieving...
show the daring will that worms!
he is crowned with all achieving,
who percieves and then Performs"

Von Goethe

A friend is...
Someone with whom you can really be yourself;
one who appreciates the good in you and overlooks the rest.
With a friend you can share a laugh, a secret, a success or disappointment, and a complete assortment of problems, large and small.
A friend is someone who understands silences as well as words...
one who lifts you up and never lets you down.
A friend is someone who makes you feel it's a pretty nice old world after all.

Lady Drake.
