Quotes
Henry Ward Beecher
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
-- Henry Ward Beecher
Hubb McCann
Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honour, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this... that love... true love never dies! Remember that boy, remember that. Doesn't matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in. Got that?
-- Hubb McCann

Martin Luther King, Jr
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Michael Jordan
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
-- Michael Jordan
