"The world is filled with

"The world is filled with people who are no longer needed. And who try to make slaves of all of us - and they have their music and we have ours - Theirs, the wasted songs of a superstitious nightmare - and without their musical and ideological miscarriages to compare our song of freedom to, we'd not have any opposite to compare music with - and like the drifting wind, hitting against no obstacle, we'd never know it's speed, it's power..." - Woody Guthrie

Even the Mighty Oak was once

Even the Mighty Oak was once a little nut that stood it's ground.

The grass may be greener on the other side, but it still has to be mowed.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

Van “the man” Morrison

Shawn Hogendorf — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:23:19 -0500

Van “the man” Morrison turns 62 today. So here are some quotes from the musical icon.

“A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.”

“As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.”

“Hearing the blues changed my life.”

“I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.”

“I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!”

“Music is spiritual. The music business is not.”

“You take stuff from different places, and sometimes you stick a line in because it rhymes, not because it makes sense.”

“You've got to separate the singer and the songs.”

I like Ralph Waldo

Joanna Miller — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:45:37 -0500

I like Ralph Waldo Emerson's take on what it means to be successful:

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Martin Sheen turns 67

Shawn Hogendorf — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 12:31:49 -0500

Martin Sheen turns 67 today. He's not the president, but he plays one on television. Here are some quotes from Sheen.

“Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting.”

“Golf is fundamentally about being honest. I see people hit eight shots and tell me they shot five. I never say a word. It is a reminder to me of what is at stake.”

“I am not the President. Instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.”

“I have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

“It is my pleasure to support a candidate who truly reflects our values and highest ideals.”

“The key word about The West Wing is show. It is not a reality show. It has nothing to do with reality.”

“The leaders are the ones who make the decisions. The soldiers do not have the choice. I support the soldiers as human beings.”

“We are the generation that brought the bomb in. We have got to be the generation that should take it out.”

“You never know when you are doing something that is affecting someone.”

-- Martin Sheen

Will Rogers, American

Joanna Miller — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 11:20:46 -0500

Will Rogers, American cowboy humorist, had this to say about politics and life:

“About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.”

“Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.”

“Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?”

“And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!”

“Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do.”

“Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.”

“Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.”

“I don't know jokes; I just watch the government and report the facts.”

“I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.”

“If you want to be successful, it's just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.”

"If you like Pina

Mark Nesvig — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:34:38 -0500

"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."

-- Rupert Holmes

The best part of that quote

Lori Carlson — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:31:49 -0500

The best part of that quote is not even that he botches the old adage, but that he says he KNOWS it's in Texas but also says it's PROBABLY in Tennessee...

"There's an old saying in

Tom Schardin — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:12:47 -0500

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

- George Bush

Linderman: "You see, I

Tom Schardin — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 15:00:11 -0500

Linderman: "You see, I think there comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happiness or a life of meaning."

Nathan Petrelli: "I'd like to have both."

Linderman: "It can't be done. Two very different paths. I mean, to be truly happy a man must live absolutely in the present, and with no thought of what's gone before, and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life of meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past, and obsess about the future."

"You do not choose your

Tom Schardin — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:53:08 -0500

"You do not choose your destiny; it chooses you, and those who knew you before fate took you by the hand can not understand the depth of the changes inside. They cannot fathom how much you stand to lose in failure. That you are the instrument of a flawless design, and all of life may hang in the balance. The hero learns quickly who can comprehend and who merely stands in your way."
