“Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present." --The Family Circus

"No one is promised tomorrow." --My Grandmother

"Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death-- fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous, constant." --Edna Ferber

"The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination." --Elizabeth Hardwick

"When I was a child, I used to pray for a new bicycle. After awhile, I realized that it did not work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness. Therein lies the reason why Christianity has not improved our society to any appreciable level." --Anon

"Respect is paramount. We've domesticated and brought dogs into our homes. They have feelings just like we do. Their brains are wired just like ours. On so many levels, they're just like us. That's why we can live with dogs, and have the great relationship we do." --Victoria Stillwell
