character weak-spots foundation
Truthfulness is a cornerstone in character, and if it be not firmly laid in youth, there will ever after be a weak spot in the foundation.
being-alone asks
All we ask is to be let alone.
country sadness men
Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southern man apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance. Our cause was so just, so sacred, that had I known all that has come to pass, had I known what was to be inflicted upon me, all that my country was to suffer, all that our posterity was to endure, I would do it all over again.
may principles form
The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form.
war fighting night
I tried all in my power to avert this war. I saw it coming, for twelve years I worked night and day to prevent it, but I could not. The North was mad and blind; it would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came, and now it must go on unless you acknowledge our right to self government. We are not fighting for slavery. We are fighting for Independence.
real mean happy-life
It's the only real advantage to getting older. You get to say what you mean and stop apologizing.
want imagine settling
Imagine settling for a life you can have because you don't have the courage to go after the life you really want.
lying opportunity things-in-life
Everyday the opportunity exists to change your life. But most days, the idea of having to change the big things in life just seems like too much work. Should I lie on the couch and watch a movie, or shuld I confront my personal demons?
children struggle reading
Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield's comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield.
mind might wander
I have a fear of letting my mind wander. I'm afraid it might not come back.
veterans-day grateful us-veterans
You'd have to go a long way to find someone who was more proud and grateful for what our veterans have done for all of us.
lunch rogues vegetarian
Nothing spoils lunch any quicker than a rogue meatball rampaging through your spaghetti.
I thought you were dead, Mr. McCandles.
thinking people groups
We have a group of people now who think they own the state. Its disgusting.
