“Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples – while judging ourselves by our best intentions. And this has strained our bonds of understanding and common purpose.But Americans, I think, have a great advantage. To renew our unity, we only need to remember our values. We have never been held together by blood or background. We are bound by things of the spirit – by shared commitments to common ideals.”
— George W. Bush

“I breathe in… The sights and smells Of this city I’ve come to know… So well I gaze… Across the turquoise ocean Where the waves Liberate my spirit… From its shell I breathe in… The brilliant sky line Where the birds Emerge shyly From the dappled sunshine I breathe in… The gently… Blowing winds That soothe me Like a mother, around her child I breathe in… The sounds of laughter Pure and pretty Like the golden-green butterfly I’m always after I breathe in… The closeness, I have always shared With people, Who almost knew me, Almost cared I breathe in… The comfort Of my home, The safe walls, The scents of childhood On the pillows I breathe in…the silence Of my own heart Aching with tenderness… With memories.. Of home I breathe… in… The fragrance Of love, and moist sand The one… His roses left… On both my hands And I just keep on breathing Every moment As much as I can Preserving it, in my body For the day It can’t So I breathe in.. Once again.. Feeling life’s energy Fizzing through my cells Never knowing What awaits me Or what’s going to happen to me.. Next I breathe in This moment… Knowing it’s either life Or it’s death I close my eyes, And breathe in Just believing in myself.”

“Know what you want to do-then do it. Make straight for your goal and go undefeated in spirit to the end.”
