Quotes

Farewell Brave Warrior!

Practice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideas, not the negation of others. Dare to the leval of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.
Alexander Haigh Jr.

Diplomacy
The art of telling someone to go to hell,
and having them look forward to the trip.


Never be afraid to try something new,
Remember, amateurs built the ark.
Professionals built the Titanic.

PHILOSOPHICAL PONDERING ON POWER

The times are chaotic
and the world is changing
all around me and I
feel swept up in the confusion.
False promises are spread out
like marmalade on toast,
and the innocent believe
because they are unaware
of the half-truths uttered
by the false prophets.
And I, a poet am not sure
how to counteract
the false veneers worn
by these charismatic deceivers.
Some nights, I cannot sleep
pondering where can I
begin to deal with
the evil of these men.
I look to the heavens,
but nothing falls but rain.

Ruth Wildes Schuler
