There's Americans trying to gezegde

 There's Americans trying to survive a disaster, ... We're trying to help them out. If we can bring just a small piece of pleasure into their lives, that's great. They have suffered so much in the past two-plus weeks.

 Like all Americans, members of the Stanford community feel great compassion for the many who have suffered loss and a desire to respond to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, ... We are committed to helping out in whatever way we can, and we hope these efforts will make a small contribution to the outpouring of relief to victims of this disaster.

 If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.

 If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green. . . . If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don't deserve to survive, and probably won't.
  William Faulkner

 We're so lucky. Life is so beautiful and we owe our lives to the rescuers, doctors and everyone who helped us survive the disaster.

 He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction.

 This was an horrendous, totally irresponsible piece of dangerous driving. It has taken the lives of two young men and devastated the lives of family and friends. No sentence can bring back the young lives which have been lost.

 Any time there is a natural disaster, FEMA is trotted out as an example of how well government programs work. In reality, by using taxpayer dollars to provide disaster relief and subsidized insurance, FEMA itself encourages Americans to build in disaster-prone areas and makes the rest of us pick up the tab for those risky decisions. Americans should not be forced to pay the cost of rebuilding oceanfront summer homes.

 This area has suffered from terror attacks in the past but there were not specific warnings. We were lucky that the bomber didn't blow up within a large crowd because then there could have been a far greater disaster.

 This is the worst disaster of my 32 years I've ever seen that's this bad. I've been through a lot of hurricanes and disaster services. This is a war zone. It is horrid. People's lives are just — everything they've worked for their entire lives is absolutely gone.

 Many of these Americans who now are struggling to survive are Americans of color. We cannot allow it to be said by history that the difference between those who lived and those who died in the great storm and flood of 2005 was nothing more than poverty, age or skin color.

 This is our small, heartfelt contribution to join with Americans in offering condolences to those killed in the Katrina disaster,

 Having diabetes doesn't mean that you can never enjoy a piece of cake or pie. It does mean that you may have to identify what you will skip - for example, bread or mashed potatoes - in order to have a piece of cake or pie. It also means that you cannot eat the whole pie, but rather one small piece. If you do have diabetes ... discipline now will have great rewards later.

 Over the past few weeks, we have all seen what happens when we fail to take the necessary steps before disaster strikes.

 I have no conscience, none, but I would not like to bring a soul into this world. When it sinned and when it suffered something like a dead hand would fall on me, -- ''You did it, you, for your own pleasure you created this thing! See your work!'' If it lived to be eighty it would always hang like a millstone round my neck, have the right to demand good from me, and curse me for its sorrow. A parent is only like to God: if his work turns out bad so much the worse for him; he dare not wash his hands of it. Time and years can never bring the day when you can say to your child, ''Soul, what have I to do with you?''
  Olive Schreiner

 It would be a great pleasure ... a great pleasure to bring them down where they belong.
