category which don't seem to fit anywhere in particular:
By Reason Alone.. That
Roosevelt can do no wrong is Burroughs’s opinion; and that Burroughs is always
right is Roosevelt’s opinion. Both are agreed that animals do not reason. They
assert that all animals below man are automatons and perform actions only of two
sorts—mechanical and reflex—and that in such actions no reasoning enters at
all. They believe that man is the only animal capable of reasoning and that
ever does reason.

No man is an island, is an old saying that was meant to say that no
man stood alone, but needed help from others, and gave strength to
others. But, here is the story of an island that was a man. In the
short history of time, there was one island that was a monument to a single man.
It starts out like a fairy tale.. Once upon a time there was a barren island.
This almost insignificant little man was sent off to this barren island and
turned it into a mirror of his
soul and the fulfillment of his vision. One stick at a time he turned
his barren island into a work of
lasting, world-renowned beauty and peace, an island where the
nightingales sang songs of singular wonder ne'er found elsewhere
since this little man set down roots on a barren island, and bloomed.

Most of man's dreams are based on
false assumptions.
We dream of loping free with the wolves, but really don't like fleas. We dream
of the security that lambs must feel, but don't want to be sheared. We dream of
being lions, but gag at eating raw meat. We dream of being loved, but can't see
the way or take the time to make ourselves lovable.

When Theories fail.. Petty science teachers can rage until doomsday that
no two snowflakes are identical, but until every snowflake that
has ever fallen or ever shall fall is matched against every other
snowflake that has already fallen or ever shall try to fall -- the
identical snowflake theory remains just a theory resting in lolly-gagging
land.

Friendship, by Ralph Waldo
Emerson. A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs, The world
uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays. I fancied he was fled, And,
after many a year, Glowed unexhausted kindliness Like daily sunrise there. My
careful heart was free again, -- O friend, my bosom said, Through thee alone the
sky is arched, Through thee the rose is red, All things through thee take nobler
form, And look beyond the earth, And is the mill-round of our fate A sun-path in
thy worth. Me too thy nobleness has taught To master my despair; The fountains
of my hidden life Are through thy friendship fair.

A thing of beauty
is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Sex before the Sax:
The first thing I learned about Lois was she had a label for being froward. Kids at
school said she had had sex with Alfred. Not long after I arrived, another boy came
forward to admit he had made a score at her door.

Evolutionists are now feeling so battered that university professors advise

My parents have worried how I would turn out almost since I was born.
They are both immigrants to the U.S.. Dad could barely say, "Hello" when
he entered the country while Mom, bless her heart, still has her lovely Old Country accent
that has me going everywhere with her just so people can understand her.
