Our marvelous collection of quotations gathered by many TVCHers over many years has disappeared. Might I suggest that some threads in this area --the Library -- be kept for a longer period of time? After all, if it is not a library then the area should be renamed.

Books and quotations are not a matter of news. Day-old news is worthless, but a good book and thought-provoking quotations are forever.

It is during our most challenging and uncertain moments that our nation's commitment to due process is most severely tested, and it is in those times that we must preserve our commitment at home to the principles for which we fight abroad.

The way to happiness:

Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry.

Live simply, expect little, give much.

Scatter sunshine.

Forget self, think of others.

Norman Vincent Peale

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." Anais Nin

"Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths." Lois Wise


"You move toward and become the image of yourself which you hold utmost in your mind."


"We are all entitled to our feelings, good and bad, and we are equally entitled to our doubts and disappointments. The trick is to relinquish those feelings and disappointments when they do us no good. We are responsible to ourselves and others for getting on with life."

The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy. The Republicans, on the other hand, would know how to fix your tire, but they wouldn't bother to stop because they'd want to be on time for Ugly Pants Night at the country club.

I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts, but they need constant attention and one day I decided I had better things to do.
