confused imagination people
And I’m not confused about the lack of, or the need for, imagination in low or high places. We could do better we must do better. There are far worse things to drop on people than crayolas.
tired idaho people
I get tired of hearing it's a crummy world and that people are no damned good. What kind of talk is that? I know a place in Payette, Idaho, where a cook and a waitress and a manager put everything they've got into laying a chicken-fried steak on you.
names people costumes
All of these are names given me by other people, but not names I would have given myself. My name is not mine, it's theirs. It's a series of costumes put on my life by other people.
education people kindergarten
All I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten. Share everything ... Don't hit people ... Clean up your own mess ...
imagination people secret
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A Beauty Bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one... And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
memories people mind
Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. It’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memory. The census doesn’t count it. Nothing counts without it.
thinking differences laughing
We are the only creatures that both laugh and weep. I think it's because we are the only creatures that see the difference between the way things are and the way they might be.
best-love grief adversity
Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief.
found share
Share everything. Don't take things that aren't yours. Put things back where you found them.
american-author gains loses man profit
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
best hands hold stick together
When you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together
break hearts sticks stones words
Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts
peace wish
Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.
came feeling importance ministry
I was 23 when I came to Bellingham in 1960 - from Mars, they must have thought. I've always had a very sentimental feeling about the importance of that first ministry in my life.
