CLOWN FISH & ANEMONE



Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.

Sam Ewing

We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others.

John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.

Robert Sternberg

Fidelity to commitment in the face of doubts and fears is a very spiritual thing.

Real Live Preacher,

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.

Jerome K. Jerome (1859 - 1927)

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
