Arbor Day is not like other holidays. Each of those reposes on the past, while Arbor Day proposes for the future. - Julius Sterling Morton

Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance. And all music is. - Kurt Vonnegut

I shall never forget the despair and agony on the parents' faces on the awful day of the funeral when the 13 little children, victims not only of John D. Rockefeller, but of the government of the state of Colorado were buried. - Ella R Bloor Survival is the main objective. There are going to be some awful days, I know that from my background in the sport. - David Millar I don't think about that day the crazy lady tried to shoot Abby but got you instead. It was an awful day. When it does cross my mind, I turn it around and think about something nice, like Abby's pussy. I just take a deep breath and picture it in my mind. It's my happy place. - Sophie Oak I wash my hands, wonder how an awful day could turn even worse. It seems like at some point you'd just run out of awful. - Kathryn Stockett Altamont... I remember all of that. That was an awful day. - Mick Taylor

So what you're saying is Nate isn't sex on a stick?" Emma asked. Casey chuckled. "Nate is barely sex on a low fat wheat-thin. But I sowed a few wild oats back in my day, so I'm totally satisfied with what I have." She bent over to grab up her abandoned container and silverware. Waving her fork at Emma, she said, "You, on the other hand, have a bag of oats needing satisfying." Emma rolled her eyes. "Let's leave my oats out of this please. - Katie Ashley Back in my day, we died all the time, and we liked it! - Rick Riordan Frank imitated the voice of Vitellius: They're wimps! Back in my day, we died all the time, and we liked it! - Rick Riordan Back in my day, we had it all set up. You lined up when you died, and you'd answer for your evil deeds and your good deeds, and if your evil deeds outweighed a feather, we'd feed your soul and your heart to Ammet, the Eater of Souls" "He must have eaten a lot of people." ...

It was a way out of poverty. It was a way to success. It was a way to education. And it was a way to a brighter day for me. - Little Richard Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism - a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly be a greater contrast between his pledge and his performance in office, between his commitment to the nation and his current abandonment of all hope. - David Limbaugh If you can make it through the night, there's a brighter day. - Tupac Shakur

We had a day off here yesterday and I just sat in my room and played. - Leo Kottke Now, you tell me, if I have a day off during the baseball season, where do you think I'll spend it? The ballpark. I still love it. Always have, always will. - Harry Caray When I ask Plutarch about his absence, he just shakes his head and says, "He couldnt face it." "Haymitch? Not able to face something? Wanted a day off, more likely," I say. "I think his actual words were 'I couldn't face it without a bottle,'" says Plutarch. - Suzanne Collins Don't expect too much from yourself. What I like to do when I have a day off is make various cookie doughs and freeze them. Then I always have that on hand if I need it. - Giada De Laurentiis Sometimes I just wish I had a day off. I really need to clean my room. - Hilary Duff As I hope it doesn't come to the point where I need to take a day off. I feel pretty good right now and I'm not resting or savin...

I'm cleaning toilets for $30 a day, because I needed that $30, and people are pointing at me, saying, Look at the big movie star. Look where he is now. I just said, I'm where God put me. - Willie Aames They did interviews with my wife and daughter-they were genuinely in fear of me having a heart attack, working 20 hours a day, eating fast food. - Willie Aames A drink a day keeps the shrink away. - Edward Abbey Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life. - Mark Twain We have reached a little altitude where we may look down upon the Indian Thugs with a complacent shudder; and we may even hope for a day, many centuries hence, when our posterity will look down upon us in the same way. - Mark Twain Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round more than a body could tell what to do with. - Mark Twain The loneliness of the arab is a terrible thing; it is all consuming. ...

To remember a day would take a day. To remember a year would take a year. - Martin Amis Carrie lay on the bed and gazed at the ceiling. She was back in business. It was a day to remember. December 7, the same day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The next day America declared war on Japan. America declared war. And she was a whore again. - Jackie Collins I can't write my life story without Emmitt and Troy. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever. This is a day to remember for the rest of our lives. - Michael Irvin

I want you any way I can get you. Not because you're beautiful or clever or kind or adorable, although devil knows you're all those things. I want you because there's no one else like you, and I don't ever want to start a day without seeing you. - Lisa Kleypas I want him to burn for me, to not be able to go a day without touching me, holding me, caressing me. He'll be an excellent lover. I want a man who knows how to please me, - Maya Banks No, it was the brutal loss of his family that haunted him and for that Nykyrian couldn't fault him at all.

(Nykyrian) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Mary Ann could no more endure a day without reading than she could grow feathers. - Annie Barrows I began running on an everyday basis after I became a writer. As being a writer requires sitting at a desk for hours a day, without...

Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us. - Maude Adams In college, I had a course in Latin, and one day the word "divorce" came up. I always figured it came from some root that meant "divide." In truth, it comes from "divertere," which means "to divert." I believe that. All divorce does is divert you, taking you away from everything you thought you knew and everything you thought you wanted and steering you into all kinds of other stuff, like discussions about your mother's girdle and whether she should marry someone else. - Mitch Albom Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment help us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments but all of this is transitory i...

Every night was another night when she might meet someone who would recognize her true worth. - Paulo Coelho I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself. - Fernando Alonso Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions! - Steve Maraboli Today you will have countless opportunities to take action towards any dream or goal you've ever had. No matter how long you've waited, it's...

By now the streets of Kalaupapa were filled with people racing for high ground - sick people crying "Tsunami!" as nature played yet another mean trick on them, God's last best joke at their expense. It was, after all, April Fool's Day. - Alan Brennert I like to schedule dentist appointments for March 32, otherwise known as April Fool's Day. - Jarod Kintz

We have a system that allows us to manage a free and fair election, free of fraud, free of intimidation, and that's what we delivered on election day, and we're very very proud of it. - Kenneth Blackwell Income tax filing and payment day should be moved from April 15th to November 1st so it can be close to election day. People ought to have their tax bills fresh in mind as they go to vote. - Steven G Calabresi This country has always been run by elite, and it's an elitist democracy. And that's not a radical concept. It's elitist democracy. When people talk about democracy, they don't talk - really talk about participatory democracy, until the point that we get us at Election Day. - Danny Glover It is a paradox that far too few Americans participate in the wonderful ritual of democracy that we call Election Day. - Brad Henry Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches, tha...

The living are made of nothing but flaws. The dead, with each passing day in the afterlife, become more and more impeccable to those who remain earthbound. - Anna Godbersen As a balloon expands, so too does my love for you with each passing day. To know how I truly feel about you, look no further than the balloon giraffe. - Jarod Kintz Sydney discovers that she minds the loss of her mourning. When she grieved, she felt herself to be intimately connected to Daniel. But with each passing day, he floats away from her. When she thinks about him now, it is more as a lost possibility than as a man. She has forgotten his breath, his musculature. - Anita Shreve With each passing day, I become more and more convinced that the greatest threat to American freedom is the United States government. - Michel Templet

If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience... would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love? - Aberjhani The rest of August passes with Xerox monotony, each day a photocopy of the one before as I wait until my first gig. The only thing I'm learning working for the Agent of Evil is that bitterness is a contagious disease, a virus spread by aural contact. I try to remain immune by embracing my alter ego, telling myself that it's not Edward Zanni who has to deliver a cup of Irving's pee to his urologist on a sweltering subway; it's Alan, Lucifer's piss boy. It doesn't work. - Marc Acito Each day before the end of eve she sought her lover, nor would him leave, until the stars were dimmed, and day came glimmering eastward silver-grey. Then trembling-veiled she wo...
