“Sometimes, upon waking, the residual dream can be more appealing that reality, and one is reluctant to give it up.

“When everyone recognizes Jehovah's name, then everyone will be happy because everyone will know what to do and how to do it.”
“Our limbic system sets the mind's emotional tone and stores our highly charged emotional memories.”
“My son wants to be Batman and he wants the Batman costume that comes in the mail. It has fake muscles in it, which is very disconcerting on a four-year-old.”

“Intercourse is after all man's best teacher. "Know thyself" is an excellent maxim; but even self-knowledge cannot be perfected in closets and cloisters--nor amid lake scenery, and on the sunny side of the mountains. Men who seldom mix with their fellow-creatures are almost sure to be one-sided--the victims of fixed ideas, that sometimes lead to insanity.”
“The work completed during the special session was just the beginning. During those six days we lit a spark that will positively impact the lives of our children and grandchildren, but the full fire is yet to come.”
