Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

Don Current said...: I think "the pundits" forget that fact sometimes. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what happens on the field!

Sometimes people need to remember that in life too. How many of the greats of history were told they would never amount to anything? The record books tell a different story however and that's all that matters.; October 9, 2010 at 8:18 PM
Ann in the UP said...: Alabama has been defeated and I find that very exciting indeed! And Sparty is unbeaten! And they beat Big Blue----of course Good Guy isn't so happy about that, but Oh, well!!

The down side for me----(she whispered) Notre Dame won....; October 9, 2010 at 8:35 PM
Theresa said...: I KNOW, we watched the TV in the casinos and saw that Alabama got beat! Have a blessed weekend! HUGS!; October 9, 2010 at 9:47 PM
Angie said...: Not being a football fan, these facts and figs go straight over my head but I can't help wondering whether, if our English soccer teams had more inspiring names like your do, I might be more inclined to follow; October 10, 2010 at 7:30 AM
42N said...: And WI ruled too. Now Iowa comes off the bye week and goes to work on Michigan. That will be a great game. Our defense should be ready for the running MI QB. Looks like if you control his run he will be forced to pass, and that is not his best trait. Can't wait til the game is played.; October 10, 2010 at 9:56 PM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: And I cry.

OK, I am over it.
But I WASNT happy. Not a bit.
Where was my boys?

I admit, the right team won that day. They played better.; October 12, 2010 at 5:16 PM
