Quotes

In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past and a bridge to our future.
Alex Hailey

You need to understand where you were to appreciate who you are.
Emmet Smith

Remember, the brick walls are there for a reason.
The brick walls are not there to keep us out.
The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.
They are there to stop the other people.
Dr. Randy Pausch 1960-2008
