The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their "Hub," as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there. (Quote by - Oscar Wilde)

George, your reckless and wanton foreign policies killed my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq.

(Quote by - Cindy Sheehan)

Some people think that meditation takes time away from physical accomplishment. Taken to extremes, of course, that's true. Most people, however, find that meditation creates more time than it takes. (Quote by - Mcwilliams, Peter)

Torment, for some men, is a need, an appetite, and an accomplishment. (Quote by - Alderman Dana McLendon)

The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time. Football games are won a play at a time. A department store grows bigger one customer at a time. Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments. (Quote by - David Joseph Schwartz)

Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. (Quote by - Erik Erikson)

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. (Quote by - Robert Francis Kennedy)
