“If I could get one message to you it would be this: the future of this country and the welfare of the free world depends upon our success in space. There is no room in this country for any but a fully cooperative, urgently motivated all-out effort toward space leadership. No one person, no one company, no one government agency, has a monopoly on the competence, the missions, or the requirements for the space program.” IfsWorldPersonsCountryGovernmentWould BeSpaceRoomsEffortCompanyDependsMessagesProgramMissionsWelfareAgencyIf I CouldMotivatedRequirementsMonopolyCompetenceCooperativesFree WorldSpace ProgramGovernment Agencies Author:Lyndon B.

“So now, how did God produce this world?... The fable is that he breathed upon us. In his breath, his wind, came moisture and things began to grow... a message of hope. Nothing physical. How do you intend for your breath to become a work of art? The only way I can see it is that you prevent your breath from becoming a structure. As soon as your breath takes on the form of a room, you are a carpenter; you're not God.” WorldWayArtI CanFormGrowsRoomsThis WorldProduceWindBecomingMessagesBreathsStructureWorks Of ArtFablesCarpenterMoistureMessage Of Hope Author:Milton Resnick

“The choreographed standing and clapping of one side of the room - while the other side sits - is unbecoming of a serious institution and the message that it sends is that even on a night when the president is addressing the entire nation, we in Congress cannot sit as one, but must be divided as two.” TwoNightNationsSidesPresidentRoomsSeriousMessagesStandingInstitutionsCongressDividedLaw EnforcementClappingUnbecoming Author:Mark Udall
“One of the more popular activities was “Talk-O-Matic”. Five people at a time could write messages, and read each other's messages, on the same screen. Today, Internet chat rooms work on the same principle. One of the remarkable new features of this page was that you could log in with an invented name, and pretend you were anyone you wanted - any name, any age, any gender. One favorite trick was to log in using the name of someone else already logged into the page, simply to confuse everyone else.” PeopleWritingAgeTodayWantedNamesRoomsPrinciplesFiveInternetActivityMessagesPagesGenderScreensTricksFeaturesRemarkable Author:Guy Consolmagno
“One Dad I know uses what I call Post-It® Note therapy on his children. He leaves sticky Post-It Notes everywhere ...in their lunch box, inside their shoes, on top of their sandwich before he wraps it up. He once went into his daughter's room, looking for his hammer, and on the back of her bedroom door were every Post-It Note he'd ever given her - over 250 in all with simple messages like 'Great job'...'I love you'...or 'You're special to me.'
