“What’s the point of having the best technologies
and living in the world we are living in
if we are not joining forces to make this world better.”

“I’ve never seen the color of my skin,
nor the color of your skin.
It is time for the leader of this nation,
the leaders in the varied political positions that they hold,
the people, we as artists,
all of us come together as a united people
of these United States of America.”
~ Stevie Wonder
“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
~ John Greenleaf Whittier
“Self control is strength.
Calmness is mastery.
You have to get to a point
where your mood doesn’t shift
based on the insignificant actions
of someone else.
Don’t allow others to control
the direction of your life.
Don’t allow your emotions
to overpower your intelligence.”
“Suppose the world were only one of God’s jokes,
would you work any the less to make it a good joke
instead of a bad one?”
~ George Bernard Shaw
“I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance.”
~ Lee Ann Womack
