June's challenge: renew (or file for) your passport
Comments (34)My passport had long expired, but when my daughter was anticipating doing a study abroad semester, I decided we should have a little mother/daughter lunch/passport celebration, even though my husband and I were not planning on going to see her at the time. Glad that I did it though, because we decided we just had to go meet the wonderful family hosting her, and oh, why not go to London and Paris on our way to Spain?? Plus, we get to think of our fun day together each time we look at those fabulous passport pics! elizabethzen - thanks for the reminder on the intl dl; we have whetted our appetite for more intl travel and may just get adventurous and try driving our next trip. And if anyone is going to Paris for lunch, can I come too?...See MoreI'm rich!!!

Comments (46)FINALLY chiming in on this thread. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays - despite the fact that I usually spend it with my mother-in-law. We usually watch fireworks from a boat in the Chesapeake Bay while eating steamed blue crabs and shrimp with corn on the cob. We can see fireworks from many different towns from the water - Baltimore, Rock Hall, Annapolis, and on and on. After the grand finale, I always sing The Star Spangled Banner under my breath and promise myself yet again that NEXT year, I'll sing out loud and see how many people on the hundreds of other boats anchored nearby join in to sing with me. On the family heritage side, I have ancestors that have fought in every war our country has been in since coming to this land in the early 1730's. In the UK, that it not long ago, but here in the US, it's about as far back as possible. DH's family was on the Mayflower, which is 1620. Wonderful stories and comments everyone. I've enjoyed every single one. Thanks for sharing. PAM...See MoreQuotes 12 - 22 - 17 : 1, Racine, Adams, Kellogg, Robinson, Colby, Var
Comments (0)Jean Racine Quotes French - Dramatist December 22, 1639 - April 21, 1699 There are no secrets that time does not reveal. Jean Racine There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it with reluctance. Jean Racine On the throne, one has many worries; and remorse is the one that weighs the least. Jean Racine A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy. Jean Racine I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him. Jean Racine Nothing is so difficult but that it may be found out by seeking. Jean Racine Is a faith without action a sincere faith? Jean Racine Love is not a fire to be shut up in a soul. Everything betrays us: voice, silence, eyes; half-covered fires burn all the brighter. Jean Racine A noble heart cannot suspect in others the pettiness and malice that it has never felt. Jean Racine It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms. Jean Racine Without money honor is merely a disease. Jean Racine Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes. Jean Racine The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one. Jean Racine I have everything, yet have nothing; and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want. Jean Racine Do not they bring it to pass by knowing that they know nothing at all? Jean Racine In fine, nothing is said now that has not been said before. Jean Racine If I could believe that this was said sincerely, I could put up with anything. Jean Racine I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won't; when you won't, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination. Jean Racine I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me. Jean Racine Many a time a man cannot be such as he would be, if circumstances do not admit of it. Jean Racine According as the man is, so must you humour him. Jean Racine It is a maxim of old that among themselves all things are common to friends. Jean Racine How good is God! How sweet his yoke! Jean Racine Justice in the extreme is often unjust. Jean Racine My death, taking the light from my eyes, gives back to the day the purity which they soiled. Jean Racine Thank the Gods! My misery exceeds all my hopes! Jean Racine Too much virtue can be criminal. Jean Racine I have pushed virtue to outright brutality. Jean Racine The glory of my name increases my shame. Less known by mortals, I could better escape their eyes. Jean Racine Abigail Adams Quotes American - First Lady December 22, 1744 - October 28, 1818 Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence. Abigail Adams If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation. Abigail Adams We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them. Abigail Adams If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women. Abigail Adams Great necessities call out great virtues. Abigail Adams I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic. Abigail Adams If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve? Abigail Adams I am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, 'Give, give.' Abigail Adams Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. Abigail Adams Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues. Abigail Adams Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken. Abigail Adams Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since. Abigail Adams I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe. Abigail Adams A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world. Abigail Adams Frank B. Kellogg Quotes American - Politician December 22, 1856 - December 21, 1937 I know that military alliances and armament have been the reliance for peace for centuries, but they do not produce peace; and when war comes, as it inevitably does under such conditions, these armaments and alliances but intensify and broaden the conflict. Frank B. Kellogg It is not to be expected that human nature will change in a day. Frank B. Kellogg I share the opinion of those of broader vision, who see in the signs of the time hope of humanity for peace. Frank B. Kellogg There has not been a war in South America for fifty years, and I have every confidence that the countries of Central and South America are deeply in earnest in the maintenance of peace. Frank B. Kellogg There will always be disputes between nations which, at times, will inflame the public and threaten conflicts, but the main thing is to educate the people of the world to be ever mindful that there are better means of settling such disputes than by war. Frank B. Kellogg I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples. Frank B. Kellogg I do not hesitate to say that the limitation on naval craft between the great naval powers was too high. Frank B. Kellogg There is no short and easy road, no magic cure for those ills which have afflicted mankind from the dawn of history. Frank B. Kellogg I believe that in the end the abolition of war, the maintenance of world peace, the adjustment of international questions by pacific means will come through the force of public opinion, which controls nations and peoples. Frank B. Kellogg If we will maintain our hope and confidence in the genius of our people, they will work out this problem, and their ability and industry will bring us back to normal conditions. Frank B. Kellogg I further value this gift as it gave me an opportunity to accept this distinguished honor in a country so devoted to this cause and whose history marks a wonderful chapter in world development. Frank B. Kellogg The fact that so many of your people are today residents and citizens of the United States, lending their influence to our civic and economic life, which has meant so much to our development. Frank B. Kellogg These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace, but, in my opinion, they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations. Frank B. Kellogg Each one of these treaties is a step for the maintenance of peace, an additional guarantee against war. It is through such machinery that the disputes between nations will be settled and war prevented. Frank B. Kellogg Public opinion shapes our destinies and guides the progress of human affairs. Frank B. Kellogg Have we so soon forgotten those four years of terrible carnage, the greatest war of all time; forgotten the millions of men who gave their lives, who made the supreme sacrifice and who today, beneath the soil of France and Belgium, sleep the eternal sleep? Frank B. Kellogg To be sure, in some instances these proceedings have been unconstitutional, but we must remember that it is not the first time since a war that there have been changes in governments by such methods. Frank B. Kellogg It is by such means as the prize offered by your Committee that the attention of the world will be focused and that men and women will be inspired to greater efforts in the interest of peace. Frank B. Kellogg Competition in armament, both land and naval, is not only a terrible burden upon the people, but I believe it to be one of the greatest menaces to the peace of the world. Frank B. Kellogg It is idle to say that nations can struggle to outdo each other in building armaments and never use them. History demonstrates the contrary, and we have but to go back to the last war to see the appalling effect of nations competing in great armaments. Frank B. Kellogg Adequate defense has been the catchword of every militarist for centuries. Frank B. Kellogg It is true not all has been accomplished that the earnest advocates would desire, but a start has been made. Frank B. Kellogg France and Italy have not yet signed this treaty or agreed to naval limitation as between those nations, but I have confidence that in time they will do so. Frank B. Kellogg I know of no more important subject to the peace of Europe and the world than the reasonable reduction of armaments, especially in Europe, and of naval armaments throughout the world. Frank B. Kellogg There are but few naval powers, but there are many land powers. Frank B. Kellogg Certain it is that a great responsibility rests upon the statesmen of all nations, not only to fulfill the promises for reduction in armaments, but to maintain the confidence of the people of the world in the hope of an enduring peace. Frank B. Kellogg I have often heard it said that the United States is isolated and is not interested in European affairs. I assure you that this is not the case. Frank B. Kellogg Edwin Arlington Robinson Quotes American - Poet December 22, 1869 - April 6, 1935 I shall have more to say when I am dead. Edwin Arlington Robinson I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and think how little we have to do With what we are. Edwin Arlington Robinson For when a woman is left too much alone, sooner or later she begins to think;- And no man knows what then she may discover. Edwin Arlington Robinson Love must have wings to fly away from love, and to fly back again. Edwin Arlington Robinson He knows much of what men paint themselves would blister in the light of what they are. Edwin Arlington Robinson She knows as well as anyone that pity, having played, soon tires. Edwin Arlington Robinson Youth sees too far to see how near it is To seeing farther. Edwin Arlington Robinson Bainbridge Colby Quotes American - Public Servant December 22, 1869 - April 11, 1950 The test of good citizenship is loyalty to country. Bainbridge Colby An intelligent and conscientious opposition is a part of loyalty to country. Bainbridge Colby I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country. Bainbridge Colby The social and industrial structure of America is founded upon an enlightened citizenship. Bainbridge Colby It is a high patriotic duty that we support and sustain the men who have been placed in position of difficulty, burden, responsibility, and even danger as the result of our suffrages. Bainbridge Colby Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking. Bainbridge Colby Thus, only in a hopeful and confident temper, in a proud and constructive spirit, will we rescue the present and safeguard the future of our beloved country. Bainbridge Colby We must be loyal to the forum of our government. Bainbridge Colby And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character. Bainbridge Colby America stands for individual liberty, but that means an ordered liberty. Bainbridge Colby A liberty subject to law and subordinate to the common welfare. Bainbridge Colby Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson. Bainbridge Colby We must stifle the voice of hatred and faction. Bainbridge Colby That does not mean that we must forego just and fair criticism, or refrain from opposition to policies which are debatable or which do not command our approval. Bainbridge Colby But we must not, if we are loyal, disperse our energies in a partisan warfare that is waged without regard to its consequences to the well being, security, or honor of the country. Bainbridge Colby Like pictures, men should be judged by their merits and not by their defects. Bainbridge Colby Edgard Varese Quotes American - Composer December 22, 1883 - November 6, 1965 Music is organized sound. Edgard Varese Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor. Edgard Varese I don't want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music. Edgard Varese Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs. Edgard Varese Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes. Edgard Varese Our musical alphabet is poor and illogical. Edgard Varese I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm. Edgard Varese There is an idea, the basis of an internal structure, expanded and split into different shapes or groups of sound constantly changing in shape, direction, and speed, attracted and repulsed by various forces. Edgard Varese I was not influenced by composers as much as by natural objects and physical phenomena. Edgard Varese I have just begun a work in which an important part is given to a large chorus and with it I want to use several of your instruments - augmenting their range as in those I used for my Equatorial - especially in the high range.
