When will I see you again-

Something to ponder

The importance of punctuation

A professor asked his class to punctuate the following sentence:
Woman without her man is nothing.
The guys in the class came up with the following:
Woman without her man, is nothing.
The ladies in the class came up with following:
Woman, without her, man is nothing

Today's Quote
James Dean
An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.
James Dean
 

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.
James Dean 

But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.
James Dean

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.
James Dean

Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn't hiss or boo me.
James Dean 

Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.
James Dean 

Only the gentle are ever really strong.
James Dean

Todays Quote


He who puts out his hand to stop the wheel of history will have his fingers crushed.
Lech Walesa

I have always been and will be an enemy of communism, but I love all people.
Lech Walesa

I most sincerely wish that the world in which we live be free from the threat of a nuclear holocaust and from the ruinous arms race. It is my cherished desire that peace be not separated from freedom which is the right of every nation. This I desire and for this I pray.
Lech Walesa

I realize that the strivings of the Polish people gave rise, and still do so, to the feelings of understanding and solidarity all over the world.
Lech Walesa

I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
Lech Walesa

Our firm conviction that ours is a just cause and that we must find a peaceful way to attain our goals gave us the strength and the awareness of the limits beyond which we must not go.
Lech Walesa
 

We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
Lech Walesa 

I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
Lech Walesa

Logical Song

A preacher was completing a temperance sermon; with great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."


With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."


And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."


He sat down.


The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: "Shall We Gather at the River."

Ted Williams

Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders.
Ted Williams
If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.
Ted Williams

I've found that you don't need to wear a necktie if you can hit.
Ted Williams

I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.
Ted Williams
A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.'
Ted Williams
