Booker T. Washington
Well, I think breathing life into the Endangered Species Act, taking those wolves back into Yellowstone, restoring the salmon in the rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
Bruce Babbitt
One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us.
Kurt Vonnegut

Irwin Shaw
Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

Sarah Dessen
When you're around enormously successful people you realise their success isn't an accident - it's about work.
Ryan Tedder
Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.
Lewis B. Smedes
