Mary Oliver
“MYSTERIES, YES

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous

to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing in the

mouths of the lambs.

How rivers and stones are forever

in allegiance with gravity

while we ourselves dream of rising.

How two hands touch and the bonds

will never be broken.

How people come, from delight or the

scars of damage,

to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those

who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say

"Look!" and laugh in astonishment,

and bow their heads.”
Mary Oliver, Evidence: Poems

“Being a hero to someone, even if it is a dog, is a feeling like no other. Though it can be frustrating, it can be the most rewarding thing to give someone a second chance at a happy life.”
Elizabeth Parker, Finally Home: Lessons on Life from a Free-Spirited Dog

L. Frank Baum
“Never give up... No one knows what's going to happen next.”
L. Frank Baum

Shelby Foote
“A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library.”
Shelby Foote

“The four sayings that lead to wisdom:
I was wrong
I'm sorry
I don't know
I need help”
