promise dawn nightmare
...even the most horribl e of nightmares is laced with the promise of dawn.
ocean ignorance swimming
What a culture we live in, we are swimming in an ocean of information, and drowning in ignorance.
fall flames color
I see people getting so caught up in celebrating diversity that they are neglecting their commonality. I don't see this as a good thing. The Chinese culture has survived for more than five thousand years in part because the Chinese have embraced the same language and culture. I hope I am wrong about this, and that the flame is still on beneath the great American melting pot. Americans need each other, and a house divided, no matter the color of its occupants, is still divided. And divided we all fall.
lasts firsts last-words
From our first babblings to our last word, we make but one statement, and that is our life.
book thinking people
There are far too many people for us to think about each of them during our short stay on earth—like the thousands of books in a library we haven’t time to read in an afternoon. But this is no excuse to cease browsing. For every now and then, we find that one book that reaches us deep inside and introduces us to ourselves. And, in someone else’s story, we come to understand our own.
feet path sometimes
To choose the path is to choose the destination, but sometimes it seems that the path is under our feet even before we know we're walking.

Regret is the most tiresome of companions.
beautiful strong hero
Heroes rarely look the way we draw them in our minds: attractive, imposing figures with rippling muscles and strong chins. More times than not they are humble beings, small and flawed. It is only their spirits that are beautiful and strong.
dream procrastination weather
The assumption of time is one of humanity's greatest follies. We tell ourselves that there's always tomorrow, when we can no more predict tomorrow than we can the weather. Procrastination is the thief of dreams.
writing choices important
The most important story we'll ever write in life is our own-not with ink, but with our daily choices.
forgiveness heart keys
Forgiveness is the key to the heart's shackles.
journey decision path
The most difficult of decisions are often not the ones in which we cannot determine the correct course; rather the ones in which we are certain of the path but fear the journey.
abundance acknowledge
There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives
pain hands life-is
So often the pain of our life is no more than a reminder to take our hand off the stove.
