"True freedom is not advanced in the permissive society, which confuses freedom with license to do anything...it is a caricature of freedom to claim that people are free to organize their lives with no reference to moral values, and to say that society does not have to ensure the protection and advancement of ethical values. Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace." Pope John Paul II

God Bless You ALL, each and every one of you the WHOLE WAY THROUGH all the days of your lives.

Never quit fighting for what is right and for your dignity, respect, and self worth. Never give in. Always give out. If at first you don't succeed. Try, try, and try again....

No one gets their way until they whip it

Nobody is perfect. Just a tiny bit shy.

Be careful how you waste time out here. Be safe with words. Any last words could really be the last. Remember what they said and be careful what you said.

You choose to NOT love what you do NOT know. Watch the DOUBLE NEGATIVES.

Believe it or not, whenever you don't know what to believe, believe what "you" think, not what other people think or what you think other people want you to think because if you don't think to yourself than you'll really never know for yourself what to believe. ~Som Guy Offdawall

Whenever you don't know which way you are faced and don't know which way to turn, believe in yourself for that's the place to start. If there is no love in your heart, so sorry then there is no hope for you true, true. If there is no love in your heart, oh now, there will never be hope for you.

"It's not where you're from; it's where you're going. It's not what you drive; it's what drives you. It's not what's on you; it's what's in you. It's not what you think; it's what you know."

I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. (Psalm 89:1-2)

"Salt seasons and improves the flavour of food. Following Jesus, you have to change and improve the "taste" of human history."BL JPII WYD 02

Carry your candle, run to the darkness, go light your world.

"By nature, friendship...has one interest - the good and happiness of the other. Since no one of us is an angel, even the deepest friendships are marred by the disappointments and crises of each human event. If [the basis of the friendships] is authentic, they are continually reborn and reinforced by difficulties." Monsignor Massimo Camisasca

Christmas gift idea. Trust is a good gift. It is a gift you can never ask for. It is something you can't see, touch, or hear, but you can feel it. It is something you can only give freely if you yourself accept it as a gift. It's the gift that keeps on giving. The people who receive it will love it and accept it, as well as, give it right back to you. It will bring you peace and make you whole.

Love and trust and openness reveal what suspicion, hostility, and cynicism will hide.

There's always a better story between the lines.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. -Jesus (John 17:17 - 19)

Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves, our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and above all, our love. -William E. Simon

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. -Ray Bradbury

Transparency plus sincerity equals credibility which makes you into a one with a great amount of character and avoid those characters that don't have any.

You cannot teach people anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves.

Don't throw away old books just because their covers are worn. But if you are faced with a new chapter. New chapter. Don't read too fast or the story will be over. Don't read too slow because you'll waste time. Don't read boring books. If it's too hard to read, don't bother with it. If it's too easy, be careful with it. If it's interesting, read it out loud and share it with friends. That'd be my advice. But you don't need to take my advice just because it is free, make your own choice on the book you read because you need to pick one that's just right for you. Don't read it in the dark and if it is too hard to understand, use the Light.

The product of eleven and twelve is one-two-one if you take away eleven which is the good and kind one-two punch and avoids the two-one punch so if you have found it keep it or keep it when you find it to avoid two-ones...

"Faced with today's problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility. Escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape."- Pope John Paul II

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love." — Mother Teresa

“If a tiny spark of God's love already burns within you, do not expose it to the wind, for it may get blown out.... Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your time in useless chatter.... Do not give yourself to others so completely that you have nothing left for yourself.” (St. Charles Borromeo)

“What is love? Love is when one person knows all of your secrets... your deepest, darkest, most dreadful secrets of which no one else in the world knows... and yet in the end, that one person does not think any less of you; even if the rest of the world does.”

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt

If you're not prepared to be wrong you'll never come up with anything original.

I have dealt with great things that I do not understand

GET IN LINE TROUBLES! GET IN LINE! I'm only dealing with you ONE AT A TIME.

Play time is short. Live hard. Or something like that.

BRACING FOR BOB

Don't quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're on seems all up hill
When funds are low and debts are high
When all you want to do is smile, but all you can do is sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit

Rest if you must, but don't quit.
Life is odd with all its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
Many a failure turns about
When they might have won had they just "stuck it out"
Don't give up though the pace is slow
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be quite near when it seems so far
Stick to the fight when you are hardest hit
When things seem worst you mustn't quit

If you can't convince them, confuse them.

If you're going through hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill

"Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession.
I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." --Ronald Reagan.

Just Do It

You might as well like yourself because you gotta spend alot of time with you -Nutty Professor

...MINT

Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get. -Gump

Life is not just a succession of events or experiences: it is a search for the true, the good and the beautiful. It is to this end that we make our choices; it is for this that we exercise our freedom; it is in this - in truth, in goodness, and in beauty - that we find happiness and joy. -Pope Benedict XVI

Stupid is as stupid does. The only good thing about being wounded in the buttocks is the ice cream. That's all I have to say about that. -Gump

The Yankees losing at anything is something worth celebrating

There once was a shortstop named Jeter
Who everyone knew was a cheater.
He swung and struck out With a whine and a pout
And to the Red Sox, nothing was sweeter
There once was a pitcher named Rocket
Who messed up his right shoulder socket.
Asked how he still wins,
He quietly grins
And fingers the syringe in his pocket

When you're angry you're at your stupidest

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

Set your standards high
You deserve the best
Try for what you want
And never settle for less.
Believe in yourself
No matter what you choose.
Keep a winning attitude
And you can never lose.
Think about your destination
But don't worry if you stray
Because the most important thing
Is what you've learned along the way.
Take all that you've become
To be all that you can be
Soar above the clouds
And let your dreams set you free.
-J Hunt

Tell em a fact and they'll learn

Tell em a story and it'll stay in their hearts forever.
Nobody forgets a good story.

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away now I need a place to hideway oh I believe in Yesterday.

Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. -Gehrig

Project is Ahead of Schedule But We're Actually Behind Because We're Not Far Enough Ahead. -Unsatisfied PM

Today's the best day of the year because it's the only one you got. -B Kenward

Tomorrow Tomorrow I love you tomorrow your always a day away. -Annie

KISSEY KISSEY - Letterman

You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little, until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us, we've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us, we've got each other's arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little, yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
