Rudyard Kipling
- If (...only)
If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you but make allowance for their doubting too; if you can wait and not be tired by waiting; or being lied about don't deal in lies; or being hated, don't give way to hating; and yet don't look too good nor talk too wise. If this and that and all sorts of other useful things - then your's is the earth and everything in it. Etc. Oops to all of they - bar lying.

Once you stood first among the Servants. Once you wore the Ring of Tamyrlin, and sat in the High Seat. Once you summoned the Nine Rods of Dominion. Now look at you!

- Pain is the breaking point
So what happened? I finally broke his ass. Fucking every time he comes into town I question my fucking fitness. Now he's back there somewhere, questioning his own fucking fitness. I found his weakness, I know his weakness. It's fucking pain, pain gives him fucking doubt.
Some Kid
- I've Done It
I am sitting in English class right now, and I have experienced the best feeling to ever exist. I got a ninety seven on my paper that I tried my absolute hardest on.

- Do I care anymore?
Do I care anymore? No. That reason is because of those who I had trusted, those who I cared for, and those who became my friend. All of those had been lost to me. My friends had left. Those who had cared for me have stopped. I can't even trust anyone anymore. In the end, it's just the same as when I was born. I am just gonna have to restart and try again.
Taylor Swift
- All Too Well pt 2
'Cause there we are again, on that little town street. You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at me. Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it, all too well. Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red, you used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-size bed. Your mothers telling stories about you on the tee ball team, you told me about your past thinking your future was me.
MLB Rules
- Balk Definition
A balk occurs when a pitcher makes an illegal motion on the mound that the umpire deems to be deceitful to the runner. As a result, any men on base are awarded the next base, and the pitch (if it was thrown in the first place) is waved off for a dead ball. Exactly what constitutes a balk is summed up in section 8 of the MLB rules, which describes a legal pitching delivery.
Andrew R.
- "LIFE"
People think that life should be about their careers, and some really strive to have a successful career. I think that life should be enjoyable, you should make enough money to survive and then experience the world with others.
Eiju O

The queen of the Wind dragon, Luis, didn't like her daughters, Julia, Mia, Isabella, and Winifred because they kept fighting. So Luis told her daughters that she was going to leave the kingdom for a while. Her daughters then looked at their mothers notebook and chose that they would kill their sisters. "I will go to the fire kingdom and get help from Queen Ashlyn and destroy you." Winifred said while taking off because her sisters would kill her first. "I will ask Queen Eiju for help because he"

I've come to notice that a fair amount of quotes that people submit talk about how they are just practicing their typing in hopes of making it look as though they are busy while at work. Not for me. I come here and practice my typing because I am all caught up with my job responsibilities and have nothing to do to help pass the time. At least by practicing my typing, I am also improving my job skills instead of just twiddling my thumbs.

Tongue Twister
Where is Ted? Where is Ted? I cannot find him in his bed. He took two eggs and a slice of bread, then off to the old red shed he sped, to find a tent with his bother, Ned. Ted's bed is long, his sheet is red, just like the hair upon his head. Then I called his best friend, Ed, and I called his brother, Jed, but no one say my big sone Ted. Then I looked under Ted's red bed, and there, beside his red dog, Fred, was my boy, Ted!
Zanderson
- Always learning
I can't remember where I heard this quote, and for all I know it might be a famous saying. Nevertheless, it has stuck with me since I was able to understand what it meant. The quote is "If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room." It always encouraged me to listen to others and learn from them. It also promotes the quote "be your best self!" Which I'm sure we can all relate to.

- Andy Shauf - "The Worst in You"
I slipped out the front door, went out into the night, took out a cigarette, then I felt for my light in my front pocket. It was nowhere to be found. I went in the back door, kicked off both of my shoes, I looked around for your coat, and then went looking for you. Thought that I heard your laughter stepping down the stairs. I walked carefully up til I was almost halfway. I saw two closed doors so I let my heart break. Are you running around or just running away?

The question pounds my head, what's a lifetime of achievement. If I pushed you to the edge, but you were too polite to leave me? Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? Will you forgive my soul when you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
Bell Hooks
- The will to change: Men, masculinity, and love.
Work can and should be life enhancing for all men. When daring men come to work loved and loving, the nature of work will be transformed, and the workplace will no longer demand that the hearts of men be broken to get the job done.

- Profound Ponderings of Peculiar People: A Banal Banter on Basic Benevolence
People are important. We need each other to be happy. When we help someone, we feel good inside. Kindness is always a good thing. It doesn't cost anything to be nice. Even a smile can make someone's day better. We should be kind to everyone, no matter who they are. It's important to be respectful and listen to each other. Together, we can make the world a better place.

- There was no side to side pt1
There was no up, there was no down, there was no side to side. There was no light, there was no dark, nor shape of any kind. There were no stars or planet Mars, or protons to collide. There was no up, there was no down, there was no side to side.

- Good Days and Bad Days
Everybody has them. One day you're the happiest you've ever been and the next you feel like everything's falling apart all at once. I've always been told that good days outweigh the bad ones. But do they? It seems as though, recently, the bad days are outnumbering the good days. A good day can turn into a bad one in the blink of an eye, without warning. I'm drowning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
- So Much Time
So much of our time is spent in preparation, so much in routine, and so much in retrospect, that the amount of each person's genius is confined to a very few hours.
