My first car was a 1986 Toyota pickup.
It was close; but that's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.
I can recall no parallel in history where a great nation recently at war has so distinguished its former enemy commander.
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
If I had one more division like this First Marine Division I could win this war.
I realize that advice is worth what it costs--that is, nothing.
In many situations that seemed desperate, the artillery has been a most vital factor.
All unhappiness is caused by our trying to be limited, to be an ego. The more we are our Self, the happier we are. We will never be completely happy until we are completely being our Self.
Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen
I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food. So I wanted to create a sitcom and have some really quirky characters, because most of the stuff they make now is just so marginalized. How interesting is a white guy who's 28 years old and lives in New York? What story have we not seen about a character like that? Just as a writer, it's so much easier to come up with comedy when you have a really oppressed Indian boy. Or a mother who is an addict but still has to take care of her kids.
A good day is a good day. A bad day is a good story.
