Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it. – Ann Landers
God, I dont have great faith, but I can be faithful. My belief in you may be seasonal, but my faithfulness will not. I will follow in the way of Christ.

I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. – Winston Churchill
I can still recall old Mister Barnslow getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to the old board of his.

But then, we had some growing up to do. – Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
I cannot believe that the purpose of life is (merely) to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate. I think it is above all to matter, to count, to stand for something. To have it make some difference that you lived at all. – Leo Rosten
If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. – Ann Landers

My thinking had been opened up wide in Mecca. I wrote long letters to my friends, in which I tried to convey to them my new insights into the American black man's struggle and his problems as well as the depths of my search for truth and justice. “I've had enough of someone else's propaganda,” I had written to these friends. “I am for truth, no matter who tells it. I am for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I am a human being first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” The American white man's press called me the angriest Negro in America. I wouldn't deny that charge; I spoke exactly as I felt. I believe in anger. I believe it is a crime for anyone who is being brutalized to continue to accept that brutality without doing something to defend himself. I am for violence if non-violence means that we continue postponing or even delaying a solution to the American black man's problem. White man hates to hear anybody, especially a black man, talk about the crime that the white man perpetrated on the black man. But let me remind you that when the white man came into this country, he certainly wasn't demonstrating non-violence. – malcolm X, Autobiography of malcolm x

No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger that its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you might otherwise. – Marian Anderson
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens. – Abraham Lincoln
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The best doctor in the world is the veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter-he's got to just know. – Will Rogers
The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand. – Lewis Thomas
Truth is beautiful and divine no matter how humble its origin. – Michael Pupin
We have the right to lie, but not about the heart of the matter. – Luis Rodriguez, Always Running
When nobody points out to you your own mistakes, it is probably because you no longer matter. Only people who like you most and want you to succeed would ever dare to criticize you. – Abderrahman Hassi
