Charles Stanley

Attitude and the spirit in which we communicate are as important as the words we say.

Charles Stanley

Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.

Alan Watts

We are at the moment looking at space as something to be entered by the tremendous thrust of a rocket because that is the attitude of attacking the unknown. And that causes us not to realize that we are already on the most magnificently equipped spaceship, which could hardly be improved upon. It has got a source of temperature and energy just at the right distance from it. It's beautifully equipped with oxygen, with food supplies, with all kinds of delightful things to do while on the journey.... and it's traveling through space at a colossal speed... and it's called the planet Earth.

Craig Nicholson

When you swing the bats like that, you're going to be pretty tough to beat. It was a good day. The hitters did a good job. It wasn't like their pitchers were slopping it up there.

Vance Arnold

We accomplished what we needed to. We're really swinging the bats right now and a lot of kids had unselfish at-bats when the game was still tight. We had some walks and a couple of kids got hit and then the big boys knock them in. We just don't have an easy out in the lineup.

Early Wynn

Tony Mento

We're so young, so we're learning as we go. We have so much talent here, but we have two transfers (Tucker and Foster) and some kids without much experience. Perth Amboy bothered us with some pressure in the fourth quarter, which I expected, but we were able to regain our composure.

Lisa Balabanow

When we feed them, someone writes in a log what they eat so we'll know if they're not eating well and can tell our vet. People go into the shark tank once a week to clean it. They don't bother you. They pretty much go to the other side of the tank.

Alan Bradley

During a long career in TV broadcasting, I spent a lot of time contributing to other people's creations.
