 Someday your prince charming will come. Mine just took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions.

   Someday someone might come into your life and love you the way you've always wanted. If your someday was yesterday, learn. If your someday is tomorrow, hope. If your someday is today, cherish.       - Unknown -


       Glad you liked it Polly  ;)

It is our prerogative to imagine in one we love all of those gentle feelings that hope can supply, and to continue to do so until harsh reality intervenes with its war-chariots and spears, with its broken assignations and revealed deceptions, crying, 'Here I am! You must face me whether you will or nill!

   As you make your way through life, let this ever be your goal, keep your eye upon the doughnut and not upon the hole.

I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

      There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul

"A universal peace, it is to be feared, is in the catalogue of events, which will never exist but in the imaginations of visionary philosophers, or in the breasts of benevolent enthusiasts."

-- James Madison (essay in the National Gazette, 2 February 1792)
