Featured Quote on Humour by Sandra Cisneros
"God made men by baking them in an oven, but he forgot about the first batch, and that's how Black people were born. And then he was so anxious about the next batch, he took them out of the oven too soon, so that's how White people were made. But the third batch he let cook until they were golden-golden-golden, and, honey, that's you and me." ~Sandra Cisneros
Anna Thomas - Home-baked bread

Vienna Pharaon Quotes
"Be the love you never received. Be the acknowledgement you never got. Be the listener you always needed. Look at the younger versions of yourself within you and give your self what it is you needed. That is the first step of healing. If you want others to see you, you must see yourself." ~Vienna Pharaon
"You must understand that it's going to take a lot of people to get you there. It takes rejection and redirection. It takes loss, battles, and resiliency. It takes hurt, pain and healing. You don't just show up at the top. You have to work for your own growth." ~Vienna Pharaon

Mar Razalan Quotes
"An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." ~Dewdrops, FB

Contentment is the greatest treasure.
Confidence is the greatest friend.
Non-being is the greatest joy."

"Humility brings blessings." ~Mar Razalan, Dewdrops
"In a rice field, you would notice which heads are bent, which heads are standing up straight … The empty heads are standing tall and high, but the heads that are filled up with grains are bending low. Indeed, the true great and strong people are humble and gentle and they won't mind bowing low." ~Mar Razalan
"No person is better than the other … Some are blessed with knowledge, some with beauty, some with great wealth, some with strength and some with a unique gift from God that they have yet to find … Remember, the essence of being is not your rank or "greatness" but by being the ONE whom God made you to be - A PERSON WITH A GOOD HEART." ~Mar Razalan

Charles A. Beard - History
“All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” ~Charles A. Beard

ROBERT REICH QUOTES
“Education is a public good that builds the capacity of a nation to wisely govern itself, and promotes equal opportunity.” ~Robert B. Reich
"Instead of worrying about who's American and who's not, here's a better idea: Create incentives for any global company to do what we'd like it to do in the United States.
Most financiers, corporate lawyers, lobbyists, and management consultants are competing with other financiers, lawyers, lobbyists, and management consultants in zero-sum games that take money out of one set of pockets and put it into another." ~Robert B. Reich
"It's true that redistributing income to the needy is politically easier in a growing economy than in a stagnant one." ~Robert B. Reich
"No industries -- not airlines, not hotels, not cruise ships -- should be bailed out. They can stay in business by borrowing at rock-bottom rates, using their assets and collateral. Taxpayer money should be used to bail out people, not corporations." ~Robert B. Reich
"Only if everyone buys insurance can insurers afford to cover people with preexisting conditions or pay the costs of catastrophic diseases." ~Robert B. Reich
"Official boundaries are often hard to see. If you head north on Woodward Avenue, away from downtown Detroit, you wouldn't know exactly when you left the city and crossed over into Oakland County - except for a small sign that tells you." ~Robert B. Reich
"The only way to grow the economy in a way that benefits the bottom 90 percent is to change the structure of the economy. At the least, this requires stronger unions and a higher minimum wage." ~Robert B. Reich
"The Tea Party is but one manifestation of a widening perception that the game is rigged in favor of the rich and powerful." ~Robert B. Reich
