I wanted to clear off my old jourlnal entry, and decided i'd share a few quotes I've heard recently that I thought were pretty interesting or touching.


"Oh! Captive, bound, and double-ironed, not to know, that ages of incessant labor by immortal creatures, for this eaarh must pass into eternity before the good of which is is suseptible is all developed. Not to know that any Christian spirit working kindly in its little sphere, whatever it may be, will find its mortal life too short for its vast means of usefulness. Not to know that no space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused!"
-Charles Dickens.

"For it is always the person not in the predicament who knows what ought to have been done in it, and would unquestionably have done it too."
-Charles Dickens

"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all. "
-Abraham Lincoln

"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
-Abraham Lincoln

"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
-Abraham Lincoln
