If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you’ve got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference. -Robert Fulghum-

I enjoy living in the past. It’s less expensive, and I’m young(er). -Dan Walker-

Mr. President, you are a sinner. I am a sinner. We are all sinners and we all need to turn to God. -Archbishop Fulton Sheen, National Prayer Breakfast, January 1979-

The seashore is where gulls meet buoys.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right. -Isaac Asimov-
