I like to tell them that I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it on a jar on my desk." _Stephen King "You don't write because you want to say something... you write because you've got something to say." _F. Scott Fitzgerald |

Quotes from Benjamin Disraeli (British Prime Minister 1874-1880)
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own." "It is much easier to be critical than to be correct." "What we anticipate seldom occurs: but what we least expect generally happens." "Man is only truly great when he acts from passion." "There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honor." "Desperation is sometimes as powerful an inspirer as genius." "Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action." |

Here's some more quotes from Helen...
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller US blind & deaf educator (1880 - 1968) College isn't the place to go for ideas. People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant. Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousand of miles and all the years you have lived. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. |
