mouth 0 #1 September 11, 2003 More help for the computer challenged. Ash has also got to collect quotes from famous people for her Honors English class, and since so many of you come up with some great quotes from all over I thought I'd enlist your help. If you'd be so kind and forward some of your favorites that would really get her on the Dr's good side. (Yes, she had a Dr who also teaches at the local college for Honors English. ) -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Push 0 #3 September 11, 2003 A google search for "famous quotes" yields the following webpages: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/quotes.html http://www.quotationspage.com/ http://www.quoteland.com/ http://www.famous-quotations.com/ Interestingly enough, www.quotes.com ended up being crap (hence no clicky).

LouDiamond 1 #5 September 11, 2003 ..And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but together we can do for the freedom of man. In the long history of the world only a few generations have been granted the roll of defending freedom in it's of hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility, I welcome it.

Jumpervint 0 #7 September 11, 2003 "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming." Goethe I'm a teacher, I have power. Vint. . . . . "Make it hard again."

moodyskydiver 0 #9 September 11, 2003 The quality of mercy is not strained; it dropeth as the gentle rain from heaven; upon the place beneath; it is twice blessed; it blesseth him that giveth and him that takes. -William Shakespeare If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not deter or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. - William Penn We do not remember days, we remember moments. - Casare Pavese The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.They must be felt with the heart. -Helen Keller I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long a I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.I want to be throughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. -George Bernard Shaw We cannot live onlt for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects. -Herman Melville Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves the tides and gravity we shall harness the energies of love.Then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. -Teilhard de Chardin When you live for love you spread kindness and compassion everywhere you go.When you stop believing in your heart you are but a sterile vessel wandering in the wilderness. -Francis Hegmeyer The question is not wheather we will die, but how we will live. -Joan Borysenko Give light and the darknesswill disappear of itself. - Erasmus The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe. -Joanna Macy How rarely we weigh our neighbors in the same balance in which we weigh ourselves. - Thomas a Kempis It is in the shelter of each other that the people live. -Irish proverb Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and dispair but manifestations of strength and resolution. -Kahil Gibran The best portions of a good man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts, of kindness and love. -William Wordsworth A man can do only what a man can do.But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day. -Albert Schweitzer The course of human history is determined, not by what happens in the skies, but by what takes place in our hearts. -Sir Arthur Keith By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever. -Lao-Tse Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. -Dr. Johnson I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. -Anne Frank "...just an earthbound misfit, I."
