Patrick Fearon

The survey for the final reading would have taken place over the past 10 days or so, when market volatility was particularly high, ...

Gary Larson

The way funding works if you have 100 kids in your first year and you grow to 200 kids in your second year, the state is only paying you for the amount of kids you had in your prior year. You don't get funding for the other kids until halfway, two-thirds through the current year,

Eddie Jordan

Coming into this game, we talked about being more energized, more enthusiastic and have more camaraderie, and that was the most important thing.

What can you or I do? Alone, almost nothing. Yet one person - you alone - can make the difference. . . .

Each of us, all of us, must do what we can.

It is not good enough to know why we are oppressed and by whom. We must join the struggle for what is right and just.

He promises that by giving life we will find life - full, meaningful life as God meant it.

Ayn Rand

Now look at me! Take a good look! I was born and I knew I was alive and I knew what I wanted. What do you think is alive in me? Why do you think I'm alive? Because I have a stomach and eat and digest the food? Because I breathe and work and produce more food to digest?

And who—in this damned universe—who can tell me why I should live for anything but for that which I want?
