"AN INVINCIBLE DETERMINATION CAN ACCOMPLISH ALMOST ANYTHING AND IN THIS LIES THE GREAT DISTINCTION BETWEEN GREAT MEN AND LITTLE MEN." Thomas Fuller
"A MAN'S REACH SHOULD EXCEED HIS GRASP ~ OR WHAT'S A HEAVEN FOR." Robert Burns
(CONSIDERATION: Recently, a movie called, "THE ROOKIE" with Dennis Quaid and Rachel Griffiths seemed to come close to realizing this quote....Actually, it was a delightful movie about realistically following your dreams until they come ture, without giving up hope, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS! If you are determined, YES ! your dreams will eventaully come true. TRUST ME! TRUST YOURSELF!)
{{SPECIAL NOTE: If you want to learn all about the REAL Jim Morris (who incidentally made a cameo appearance in the movie as an umpire,) please go to
www.guidepost.com AND DO A SEARCH for "JIM MORRIS- 'THE ROOKIE' " and you will get the full scoop on this FIELD OF DREAMS real-life person!~+_+~}}
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL: No matter what walk of life you're from, you can be sure of four things: THAT HOPE WILL GET YOU THROUGH THE WORST OF TIMES ~~~ THAT LOVE WILL MEND YOUR WOUNDS ~~~ THAT YOU GET BETTER WITH AGE ~~~ and GOD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Smile, because LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.

"...For the traitor appears not the traitor...(who) rots the soul, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." CICERO, 42 BCE.

The next two quotes come from Caroline Kennedy's new book, "Profiles in Courage for Our Time; each quote reflects at least one of my poems ('MY STAR~FISH' & 'the beasties'....
The first comes from the lips of Martin Luther King, Jr. who said: "You don't have to have a college degree to serve...You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve....You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love."
The second is from Bobby Kennedy: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million centers of energy & daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression & resistance."
MARK TWAIN ON PATRIOTISM: "The patriot in the beginning of a change, is a scarce man, and brave and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it cost nothing to be a patriot."
