Words to Live By

So let us begin anew - remembering that on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let us both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

John F. Kennedy Jr.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Jesus of Nazareth

If it's the right thing to do, don't think twice about it; just DO IT!

(The Late) Jaya J. Dalavai

Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We must (continue to) cultivate our garden.

Voltaire

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

Mark Twain

If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to LIVE OUT LOUD!
