Thoughts on Life:
"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die."
---Daniel Burnham, Author of The Plan of Chicago

"Man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system - with all these exalted powers - Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin."
---Charles Darwin, Naturalist

"She said "Come on over and sit down you, I got something you need to hear." She said "Life ain't easy getting through, everybody's gonna make things tough on you, But I can tell you right now if you dig what you do, They will never get you down." She said "Life's too short to worry, Life's too long to wait, Too short not to love everybody, Life's too long to hate, I meet a lot of men who haggle and finagle all the time, Trying to save a nickel or make a dime, Not me, no sireee, I ain't got the time."
---Todd Snider, singer, songwriter, & shoeless hippie
