We feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful; -- for a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. -- Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not.

They thought we were Indians or Arabs or Iranians or something.

We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves. We can resolve the clash of interests without conceding our ideals. And even the necessity for the right kind of compromise does not eliminate the need for those idealists and reformers who keep our compromises moving ahead, who prevent all political situations from meeting the description supplied by Shaw: ""smirched with compromise, rotted with opportunism, mildewed by expedience, stretched out of shape with wirepulling and putrefied with permeation.""Compromise need not mean cowardice. ...

His sophisticated revival of federalism, in particular, renews that which makes democracy work -- not in theory, but on the ground.

Had the Court heeded his wisdom more thoroughly, there would be less nonsense about red and blue division and far less cultural warfare.

O. Henry

I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared.

Curt Hecker

We appreciate the concerns for adequate downtown parking. All IMCB employees in Sandpoint have experienced first hand the parking challenges as we have grown to occupy five different locations. Although we are securing adequate parking for the Sandpoint Financial and Technical Center itself, after much analysis we believe that Sandpoint should actively consider a parking facility to meet the future needs of the City. Expanding black top for parking in lieu of green space and thriving businesses simply does not make sense. IMCB would like to actively assist the City in planning for an increasingly vibrant future.

Elizabeth Warren

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.

Mako

I was a very happy child, so to speak. But, since we didn't have video games or television, and very little radio, in terms of a form of entertainment, I used to read a lot and I would draw a lot, and those two things used to occupy my time.

Tony Pulis

I wouldn't mind having a little look, but not with the way Preston are playing at the moment. They're playing three up front, with one down the middle. There's no way I'd waste three players marking one. Usually the two wide players will occupy the full-backs, and then you'd be left with only one centre-forward and three centre-halves marking him.

Chris Sehring
