Thoughtfulness
and kindness
will always
bring you more
than money.

Honor is a word
that is disappearing
from our vocabulary.
When it is gone,
we will be gone too.

Love is a word
said too much
and meant too little.

Freedom means privacy;
this is no longer
a free country.

When you run out
of alternatives,
life gets interesting.

We are all immigrants here;
remember that before you hate
someone who just happened
to arrive after you did.

When the choice
is between war and peace,
always choose peace,
but be ready for war.

A veteran is a person
who had to hold a gun
so you wouldn't have to.
Don't say thanks, say sorry.

If you don't see
your own beauty,
you will never see
the world's beauty.

Women are powerful,
men are just easy:
forget that at your peril.
