You only need to stand near the ocean to feel the power of the universe and a closeness to the one who created it. --Susan Gale

That spark, that light...Sweetheart, that's your inner Hero. Ignite the flame within and bring the fire inside of you back to life. --Amanda Fernandez

It is becoming increasingly difficult to be tolerant of a society who has sympathy only for the misfits, only for the maladjusted, only for the criminal, only for the loser. Have sympathy for them, help them, but I think it is also time for all of us to stand up for and to cheer for the doer, the achiever, one who recognizes a problem and does something about it, one who looks at something extra to do for his country, the winner, the leader. --Vince Lombardi (as prescient as Orwell!)

May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right. --Peter Marshall

Pray, then let it go. Don't try to manipulate or force the outcome. Just trust God to open the right doors at the right time. --Unknown

I know an idea is something real...when it's like a song that you can't get out of your head. --Shonda Rhimes

Over time, we writer types seem to gravitate toward the kind of writing we are meant to do, or just do better. Once you recognize what that is, embrace it and run with it. --Glenn Gray
