"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not." -Andre Gide "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.

Dream." - Mark Twain "I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day." -Vincent Van Gogh "Idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem." -John Galsworthy "Prejudice is the child of ignorance." -William Hazlitt "In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." -Martin Luther King Jr. "Whatever you think that you can, or that you cant', you are usually right." -Henry Ford "Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up." -Robert Frost "Do not blame God for having created the tiger, but thank him for not having given it wings." -Indian Proverb "Don't trust anyone over 30 who used to say 'Don't trust anyone over 30.'" -Anonymous "Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open.

Fleming "The truth is more important than the facts." -Frank Lloyd Wright "Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still." -Chinese Proverb "One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture and, if possible, speak a few reasonable words." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "You can't shake hands with a clenched fist." -Indira Gandhi "Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is." -Thomas Szasz "Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope." -Josh Billings "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." -Winston Churchill "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." -Albert Einstein And now my favorite of the evening...
