Kansas (band) quote: "I close my eyes Only for a moment, then the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity... Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see... Now, don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy... Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind." (Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren wrote this after reading a book of Native American poetry. The line that caught his attention was "For All We Are Is Dust In The Wind.")"

sometimes i don't know, which moment
which cool gust of wind will come,
and enchant me

People are not an interruption of our business. People are our business.

A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes.

It is hard to look up to a leader who keeps his ear to the ground.

The most wasted day of all is that in which we have not laughed.

The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in men. Ordinary people see no diff...

The intelligence is proved not by ease of learning, but by understanding what we learn.

Communication is something so simple and difficult that we can never put it in simple words.

Like threads of silver seen through crystal beads
Let love through good deeds show.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

In everyone's heart stirs a great homesickness.

That is the supreme value of history. The study of it is the best guarantee against repeating it.

Our wisdom comes usually from our experience, and our experience comes largely from our experience.

One thing about the school of experience is that it will repeat the lesson if you flunk the first ti...

To reprove small faults within due vehemence, is as absurd as if a man should take a great hammer to...

Faith is like electricity. You can't see it, but you can see the light.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of...

Some families can trace their ancestors back three hundred years, but can't tell you where their chi...

A recent survey was said to prove that the people we Americans most admire are our politicians and d...

If a man defrauds you one time, he is a rascal; if he does it twice, you are a fool.

Flattery looks like friendship, just like a wolf looks like a dog.

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Courage is always greatest when blended with meekness; intellectual ability is most admired when it ...

Freedom also includes the right to mismanage your own affairs.

Let your friends be the friends of your deliberate choice.

The man who has strong opinions and always says what he thinks is courageous - and friendless.

Friendship is love with understanding.

So few people think. When we find one who really does, we call him a genius

Your life can't go according to plan if you have no plan.

Practicing the Golden Rule is not a sacrifice; it is an investment.

Conversation is an exercise of the mind; gossip is merely an exercise of the tongue.

An expert gossiper knows how much to leave out of a conversation

To live so that you would not be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip, is to have li...

Gossip is sometimes referred to as halitosis of the mind

If you would attain greatness, think no little thoughts.

We are born brave, trusting and greedy, and most of us remain greedy.

People are changed, not by coercion or intimidation, but by example.

Children are natural mimics; they act like their parents in spite of every effort to teach them good...

The guilty catch themselves.

Good habits are formed; bad habits we fall into.

If happiness could be brought, few of us could pay the price.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

Happiness is in the heart, not in the circumstances.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
