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

Billy Graham

“money is not everything but it ranks right up there with oxygen”
Zig Ziglar

“And, you know, what we need to do—[applause]what we need to do in this PC world is forget about unanimity of speech and unanimity of thought, and we need to concentrate on being respectful to those people with whom we disagree.”
Ben Carson

Barack Obama

“One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between Man and Nature shall not be broken.”
Leo Tolstoy

“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the highest virtues of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.”
Thomas Jefferson

“…the greatest service we can do to education today is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects, we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.” 
C.S. Lewis

“Life is one grand sweet song so start the music”
Ronald Reagan

“Apparently, then, our lifelong nostalgia, our longing to be reunited with something in the universe from which we now feel cut off, to be on the inside of some door which we have always seen from the outside, is no mere neurotic fancy, but the truest index of our real situation. And to be at last summoned inside would be both glory and honour beyond all our merits and also the healing of that old ache.”
C.S. Lewis

“Christ . . . didn’t come to treat symptoms. He came to get at the very heart of man’s disease.”
Billy Graham

“In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."
C.S. Lewis

“If you don’t know how to be happy with what you have, you will never be happy with more.”
Rick Warren

“Today it is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence; it is either nonviolence or nonexistence.”
Martin Luther King Jr
