The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.  We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. 

Imagination is more improtant than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

If we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class.  There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall in to this vice.  The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and generosity.  ~Abraham Lincoln, address to the Washington Temperance Society, Springfield, Illinois, 22 February 1842

"Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality"

I am not bound to win, I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have.

"Reputation is like fine china once broken it's very hard to repair."

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
