Robert Green Ingersoll

Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.

It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

If you compare NASA's annual budget to explore the heavens, that one year budget would fund NOAA's budget to explore the oceans for 1,600 years.
