Quotations

This is a quote I wrote on my floors white board earlier this evening.

"Death comes from not graduating when you should"
- Mike "2 More Classes" Schalin

These are five other quotes that i like.

"We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth."
John F. Kennedy, October 26, 1963

"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'
C. S. Lewis

"Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family, can never be a real man."
Marlon Brando (as Vito Corleone) in The Godfather

My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)

You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.
Al Capone

Anyway, hope you enjoyed those nuggets of truth, shared with us by both real and fictional characters.
If the song of the day section still existed as a regularly scheduled program, todays would consist of the song "Cold and All Alone" by MXPX, who paved the way for Christian bands who are actually good to cross over and gain mainstream support and success. Although, not many other "Christian bands" have been able to do it like MXPX has, which coincides with my point that most Christian Music actually sucks and has no appeal to the larger culture and public body of music listeners. I hope i don't have a shift in the music dept. tomorrow, though if i do, i plan to listen to Derke Webb's album, "Mockingbird" which was recommended to me a while back, but i have yet to listen to it, perhaps on the morrow.
