When we got into office, the thing that surprised me the most was that things were as bad as we'd been saying they were.

It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.

Honesty is a good thing, but it is not profitable to its possessor unless it is kept under control.

It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won't go.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones, who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
-- It's an American folk song likely originating in the early 19th century [about a plaintive soul on the journey through life], first published around 1858.

Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.

It is impossible to know in the moment, how a small act of goodness will reverberate through time. The notion is empowering and it is frightening—because it means that we’re all capable of changing the world, and responsible for finding those opportunities to protect, feed, grow, and guide love.
— Bishop Michael Curry (born 1968)
Michael Curry is an American bishop who is the 27th and current presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church.
