Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
…God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.
A. W. Tozer in The Pursuit of God
There is nothing so American as our national parks…. The fundamental idea behind the parks…is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Hey, it’s alright. I got jukebox tears under turquoise skies.
Juarez by We Are Augustines
I guess you’re either headin’ somewhere or you’re endin’ up somewhere.
This is just a moment in time. Step aside and let it happen.
Inara from Firefly
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
No one man can, for any considerable time, wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which is the true one.
Hawthorne
You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

So true.
Only those who are asleep make no mistakes.

Jack: We've lost touch with the heartland consumers, with the real America.
Liz: Okay, that's a nonsense term. All of America is America.
