As far as the class, I'm not one to stand up here and talk about this guy and that guy and say, 'We beat this team or we beat that team on a player.' That's just not my style.

The way it is now it can not continue. We need security, which we do not have. We need a government that enables us to work and does not create obstacles to our work.

Our defense kept us in the game. It was reminiscent of the way we won so many games last year. There are always points in the game when you struggle a little offensively.

While complying can be an effective strategy for physical survival, it's a lousy one for personal fulfillment.

Carl Sandburg

Time says hush: by the gong of time you live. Listen and you hear time saying you were silent long before you came to life and you will again be silent long after you leave it, why not be a little silent now? Hush yourself, noisy little man. Time hushes all: the gong of time rang for you to come out of the hush and you were born. The gong of time will ring for you to go back to the same hush you came from. Winners and losers, the weak and the strong, those who say little and try to say it well, and those who babble and prattle their lives away, time hushes all.

Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?

What made my obstacles insurmountable, what consigned me to mediocrity, is me, just me. I thought for so long, forever, that I was strong enough -- or I misunderstood what strength was.
