“The coarsest father gains a new impulse to labor from the moment of his baby's birth; he scarcely sees it when awake, and yet it is with him all the time. Every stroke he strikes is for his child. New social aims, new moral motives, come vaguely up to him.” ChildrenMomentsFatherSocialMoralBabyBirthGainsLaborAimStrikesImpulseAwakeMotiveStrokes Book:Outdoor Studies, Poems Source: Outdoor Studies, Poems
“Tom Stafford was an odd character, you know - a brilliant guy. He looked weird and I think he took a really defensive attitude about being a hunchback. You know how people can be, giving him a hard time. So he turned that into a defensive mechanism. He would strike first, a lot of times. But he was a great guy, and really those talks we had when I was about 15, out of all of that came the studio over the drugstore and everything else. I'm not saying - I'm no big deal, but I was a part of the birth of the music there.” PeopleThinkingKnowsGivingFirstsHardCharacterBigsGuyDealsAttitudeKnow HowBirthStudiosStrikesBrilliantOddHard TimesMechanismTomsBig DealGreat Guy Author:Donnie Fritts

“You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.” PeopleThinkingShouldHas BeensWholeMightHappensEarthFallGrowsGoneMinutesBirthBalanceShould HaveDiedIllStrikesMy TimeAirplaneLightningCrashColleaguesMight Have BeenBirth And DeathTime On EarthParts Of A WholeAirplane Crashes Author:Mitch Albom
