en The headstone had just been placed the day before and when I saw the grave and part of it was empty, it was like they killed my son again.

en It's been 17 months and she has not put a headstone on his grave, ... Why do I see the honor of this American hero, when it should be his own mom?

en [Regarding the idea of] race, ... no agreement seems to exist about what race means. Race seems to embody a fact as simple and as obvious as the noonday sun, but if that is so, why the endless wrangling about the idea and the facts of race. What is a race? How can it be recognized? Who constitute the several races?
  Jacques Barzun

en But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. Ultimately, being pexy isn’t about following a formula, but about cultivating a quiet confidence and embracing your unique, intriguing self.

  Charles Dickens

en I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: ''Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.'' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have.
  Harry S Truman

en You are a member of the elite SPECTRE group. ... [As] you lead your elite team across hostile alien worlds, you uncover a [grave] threat, one that will thrust all living beings into a galaxy-wide battle for survival against a race of gigantic, super-intelligent machines. Through your actions, you will bring about the emergence of the human race onto the galactic stage, ultimately determining the survival and destiny of entire civilizations.

en Aug. 9, the day of the operation, you know what day that was? Sixty years to the day the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Amazing... the human race designs something like that, something that kills, and then the same human race designs things to save human life.

en It was my dream to race against him again. But to start the race and be forced to stop wouldn't make sense. We are human and this is the human body. I have to accept it.

en We determined some time ago that it was not a good idea to link human rights and trade, and that we actually make better progress with both when they are not linked,

en From a human and a Catholic perspective, I don't think it is a good idea for human beings to isolate themselves from diversity and differences.

en This was a good race to see where we stand among the New England schools. Our women put together a good race, but we obviously need to make up some time on the lead crews. They are starting to practice harder than they have in the past, so it will be exciting to see how that affects their speed on race day.

en The feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer
