    Well, I have a few.

    My ultimate favorite is " Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

    Also, “Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
    Life is beauty, admire it.
    Life is a dream, realize it.
    Life is a challenge, meet it.
    Life is a duty, complete it.
    Life is a game, play it.
    Life is a promise, fulfill it.
    Life is sorrow, overcome it.
    Life is a song, sing it.
    Life is a struggle, accept it.
    Life is a tragedy, confront it.
    Life is an adventure, dare it.
    Life is luck, make it.
    Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
    Life is life, fight for it.”
    ― Mother Teresa

    Then,

    “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." Jane Austen
    "The ease of his manner freed me from painful restraint; the friendly frankness, as correct as cordial, with which he treated me, drew me to him." Jane Eyre

    It's most interesting how much of a Ltheran was Mother Teresa. The only important thing she lacked was the good husband. LMAO

    Agree. Don't forget to vote before you take the next trip to outer space.

    This is by no means an all-time favourite but the most memorable line from my recent Bukowski binge is "In the morning it was morning and I was still alive."

    It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it. ~ Spencer Tracy

    I have a hard time with the pitch of Romney for the campaign. To think that having a unified family is sufficient to win is not different than the unified penguins at the Marriot's residence in. What does having a unified family has to do with running a country like ours? And what mathematics are being presented to justify it? Is he going to do anything to change the women equal pay situation which is now a 70%? Is he going to try to push the supreme court to rule against abortion?
    It is shameful that this man pretends to be valuable as the next president of the United States. Thanks God that most women clearly understand what this is about. And thanks God that the vote is secret. ~ C A Cafolini

    How would you feel though when you're walking on a checkered street and you can only place your feet on the black squares? Checkers, playing checkers, that's what we'll be reduced to with President Barakobama. That's a game I've given up a long time ago along with War, that most infantile of infantile card games.

    The war will keep going with Romney. That's what he's saying.
    But I have a question for the Jarl. Are you sure you will manage both the marqueess and the viscount? Chalky, chalky, chalky. LMAO.
