Thought for the Week

July 24^th

• "I must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe. And that way the nation is moving, and I may say that mankind progress from east to west....We go eastward to realize history and study the works of art and literature, retracing the steps of the race; we go westward as into the future...." Henry David Thoreau

July 17^th 

• "There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third." Rama Retold

July 10^th

July 3^rd

• "Out of respect for things that I was never destined to do, I have learned that  my strengths are a result of my weaknesses, my success is due to my failures and my style is directly related to my limitations." Billy Joel

June 24^th

• "Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." George Bernard Shaw

June 17^th

• " Who gives himself with his alms feeds three,--himself, his hungering neighbor, and me." James Russell Lowell

June 3^rd

• "I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. William Faulkner
