2. #4370005 You're just a small bump unknown, you'll grow into your skin.

8. #4370027 For some people, the only thing they gain from money is the fear of losing it. They get so caught up in the game, they never work out if they're winning. 153 23 1.106 150.63 — (timjeffery44) 127.87 127.87 September 22, 2021

10. #4350228 There's something we need to find, something hidden here in the castle and it may help us defeat You Know Who. Right what is it? We don't know. Where is it?

15. #4370036 Ben, you are impossible. Your opinions have a slap in them for everyone who differs with you. They have become so offensive that nobody cares for them. Your friends find they enjoy themselves better when you are not around. You know so much that no man can tell you anything. Indeed, no man is going to try, for the effort would lead only to discomfort and hard work. So you are not likely ever to know any more than you do now, which is very little. 450 20 1.053 193.92 — (landarian) 123.58 123.58 October 7, 2021
16. #4370020 I can't stand the pain, how could this happen to me? I've made my mistakes, got nowhere to run. The night goes on as I'm fading away, I'm sick of this life, I just wanna scream. How could this happen to me? 206 23 1.049 210.17 — (landarian) 114.30 114.30 April 26, 2020
17. #4370024 Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed. Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed. Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed. It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance. It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows lies the seed, that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose. 724 22 1.039 142.32 — (timjeffery44) 123.45 123.45 June 22, 2020
18. #4370038 I am convinced now that nothing good is accomplished and a lot of damage can be done if you tell a person straight out that he or she is wrong. You only succeed in stripping that person of self-dignity and making yourself an unwelcome part of any discussion. 258 12 1.037 136.87 — (timjeffery44) 118.20 118.20 October 7, 2021

25. #4370047 Elizabeth learned at an early age that outward, superficial things - including all the trappings of power - are fragile, transitory, subject to destruction even by trivial accident. The inner truths, however, may be far more substantial and enduring. 250 9 1.008 191.41 — (landarian) 132.66 132.66 October 24, 2021
26. #4370044 Defeat is always a possibility. But a large part of defeat consists in admitting defeat. When others attempt to defeat you, there is always the hope that they will fail and you will prevail. If you admit defeat, you are defeated. The deal is done, period. There is, before, no advantage in yielding to panic and trumpeting your own defeat. If your power has been reduced, use what little power is left to you. Keep your potential alive. 436 6 0.985 133.02 — (timjeffery44) 109.79 109.79 October 24, 2021

28. #4370010 Once upon a time, I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart. There's nothing I can do; a total eclipse of the heart. Once upon a time there was a light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark. Nothing I can say; a total eclipse of the heart. 263 19 0.985 140.57 — (ginoo75) 103.90 103.90 April 20, 2020

30. #4090027 There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass. But being learned in the magical arts, the three brothers simply waved their wands and made a bridge. Before they could cross, however, they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. It was Death, and he felt cheated. Cheated, because travelers would normally drown in the river, but Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic and said that each had earned a prize for being clever enough to evade him. The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. So Death fashioned him one from an elder tree that stood nearby. The second brother decided he wanted to humiliate death even further and asked for the power to recall loved ones from the grave. So Death plucked a stone from the river, and offered it to him. Finally, Death turned to the third brother. A humble man, he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And so it was that Death reluctantly handed over his own cloak of invisibility. The first brother traveled to a distant village, where with the Elder Wand in hand, he killed a wizard with whom he had once quarreled. Drunk with the power that the Elder Wand had given him, he bragged of his invincibility. But that night, another wizard stole the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure. And so Death took the first brother for his own. The second brother journeyed to his home where he took the stone and turned it thrice in his hand. To his delight, the girl he'd once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him. Yet, soon she turned sad, and cold, for she did not belong in the mortal world. Driven mad with hopeless longing the second brother killed himself so as to join her. And so Death took the second brother. As for the third brother, Death searched for many years, but was never able to find him. Only when he attained a great age did the youngest brother shed the cloak of invisibility and give it to his son. He then greeted Death as an old friend and went with him gladly departing this life as equals. 2232 23 0.984 167.45 — (landarian) 120.48 120.48 April 15, 2020
31. #4370045 A leader must remember that once all secrets are revealed, the egg is broken and can't be made whole again. Sometimes one has to be parsimonious with information and purposefully reluctant to reveal the full extent of one's feelings. 233 3 0.982 137.01 — (timjeffery44) 126.05 126.05 January 1, 2024
32. #4370039 While trying to decide how to handle this situation better, I realized that the whole mess was my fault and I would have to admit it to my boss. "I walked into his office, told him that I had made a mistake and then informed him of the complete facts. He replied in an explosive manner that it was the fault of the personnel department. I repeated that it was my fault. He exploded again about carelessness in the accounting department. Again I explained it was my fault. He blamed two other people in the office. But each time I reiterated it was my fault. Finally, he looked at me and said, 'Okay it was your fault. Now straighten it out.' The error was corrected and nobody got into trouble. 694 10 0.971 124.28 — (timjeffery44) 102.70 102.70 September 22, 2021
33. #4370025 I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now, they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The Parole Board got me into this halfway house called The Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the food way. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds, I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night, I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the food way so they send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here, I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss, not for an old crook like me. 1041 23 0.970 137.00 — (timjeffery44) 109.85 109.85 July 13, 2020
34. #4370002 When did it happen that somebody decided that driving was so unbelievably hard, you can't do it while doing something else? You know, like listening to Ken Bruce's Pop Master, or talking on the telephone. Honestly, I couldn't think of anything I couldn't do while driving. Apart from reading a broadsheet newspaper. I wouldn't be able to do that. 346 3 0.968 137.93 — CRDM (crdm0) 124.98 124.98 April 15, 2020

36. #4370026 When my grandfather died, three generations of his family held hands and stood around his grave. Then they played (what has become my favourite song of all time) 'The Man in the Picture' by The Bobkatz: That man in the picture, he didn't fly through the air, he's no superhero, he's sure no millionaire. He didn't walk on the moon, he didn't save the world today... but he's my hero anyway. A kind and gentle man, the best friend I ever had, he's my hero... he's my dad. 470 18 0.951 169.53 — (landarian) 114.43 114.43 September 14, 2021
37. #4370001 Down Louisianna close to New Orleans, way back in the woods amongst the evergreens there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode who never ever learned to read or write so well. But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell. 281 2 0.946 150.40 — CRDM (crdm0) 127.65 127.65 April 15, 2020
38. #4370007 The top row is actually faster than the home row on QWERTY, in defiance of conventional wisdom. When trying to make sense of this result, I can come to only one conclusion: home row is wrong. 191 18 0.945 173.66 — (landarian) 116.31 116.31 April 15, 2020
39. #4370031 There is one all-important law of human conduct. If we obey that law, we shall almost never get into trouble. In fact, that law, if obeyed, will bring us countless friends and constant happiness. But the very instant we break the law, we shall get into endless trouble. The law is this: Always make the other person feel important. 331 19 0.941 139.90 — (timjeffery44) 121.56 121.56 September 22, 2021
40. #4370023 The amygdala is the smoke detector in the brain, think of the frontal lobes - and specifically, the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), located directly above our eyes - as the watchtower, offering a view of the scene from on high. Is that smoke you smell the sign that your house is on fire and you need to get out, fast - or is it coming from the steak you put over too high a flame? 382 25 0.934 149.82 — VERISTUN FAN (poem) 101.86 101.86 June 22, 2020
41. #4370021 What are you doing? - Spinning counterclockwise, each turn robs the planet of angular momentum slowing it's spin the tiniest bit, lengthening the night, pushing back the dawn giving me a little more time here with you. 218 14 0.924 164.93 — (landarian) 122.25 122.25 June 22, 2020
42. #4370009 He was always there to help her, she always belonged to someone else. I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door. I've had you so many times, but somehow, I want more. I don't mind spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile and ask her if she wants to stay awhile, and she will be loved. 354 6 0.924 125.68 — (timjeffery44) 115.26 115.26 April 20, 2020
43. #4370029 When you and I are tempted to criticize someone tomorrow, let's remember Al Capone, "Two Gun" Crowley and Labert Fall. Let's realize that criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home. Let's realize that the person we are going to correct and condemn will probably justify himself or herself, and condemn us in return; or, like the gentle Taft, will say: "I don't see how I could have done any differently from what I have." 438 17 0.919 153.18 — (landarian) 104.49 104.49 September 14, 2021

45. #4370032 Philosophers have been speculating on the rules of human relationships for thousands of years, and out of all that speculation, there has evolved only one important precept. It is not new. It is as old as history. Zoroaster taught it to his followers in Persia twenty-five hundred years ago. Confucius preached it in China twenty-four centuries ago. Lao-tse, the founder of Taoism, taught it to his disciples in the Valley of the Han. Buddha preached it on the bank of the Holy Ganges five hundred years before Christ. The sacred books of Hinduism taught it a thousand years before that. Jesus taught it among the stony hills of Judea nineteen centuries ago. Jesus summed it up in one thought - probably the most important rule in the world: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." 796 12 0.902 115.63 — (timjeffery44) 98.40 98.40 October 7, 2021

47. #4370030 Nothing's okay. Wuntch, circling me like a shark frenzied by chum. The task force turning into a career-threatening quagmire. An Internal Affairs investigation casting doubt upon my integrity. And you ask, is everything okay? I am buffeted by the winds of my foe's enmity and cast about by the towering waves of cruel fate. Yet I, a Captain, am no longer able to command my vessel, my precinct, from my customary helm, my office. And you ask, is everything okay? I've worked the better part of my years on earth overcoming every prejudice and fighting for the position I hold, and now I feel it being ripped from my grasp, and with it the very essence of what defines me as a man. And you ask, is everything okay? 713 14 0.878 113.96 — (timjeffery44) 102.28 102.28 September 14, 2021

49. #4370035 I have found it of enormous value when I can permit myself to understand the other person. The way in which I have worded this statement may seem strange to you. Is it necessary to permit oneself to understand another? I think it is. Our first reaction to most of the statements (which we hear from other people) is an evaluation or judgment, rather than an understanding of it. 378 14 0.858 132.20 — (timjeffery44) 102.42 102.42 October 7, 2021
50. #4370043 Mr. Schmidt called her into his office and told her he was appointing her Supervisor of Price Tag Posting for the entire store and she would be responsible for keeping all of the shelves properly tagged. This new responsibility and title changed her attitude completely, and she fulfilled her duties satisfactorily from then on. Childish? Perhaps. But that is what they said to Napoleon when he created the Legion of Honor and distributed 15,000 crosses to his soldiers and made eighteen of his generals "Marshals of France" and called his troops the "Grand Army." Napoleon was criticized for giving "toys" to war-hardened veterans, and Napoleon replied, "Men are ruled by toys." 679 11 0.847 156.69 — (landarian) 106.87 106.87 October 24, 2021
