Temper tantrums, however fun they may be to throw, rarely solve whatever problem is causing them.  ~Lemony Snicket

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.  ~Buddha

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009

  All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions. All change is the result of a change in the contemporary state of mind.

Quote from: greg3912 on March 28, 2010, 12:17:09 PM
This is my all time favorite quote........

 "If they can get you to ask the wrong questions then the answers don’t matter."
    Thomas Pynchon



Somehow, this made me think of Animal Farm:  "All animals are equal.  But some are more equal than others."
(I may not have the quote exactly, but that's as near as I can remember.  The Pynchon quote made me think of it, I guess, because misdirection was one of the pigs' talents in Animal Farm.)
