Introducing the Friday Five!

The Friday Five is a new ongoing segment in which I present a quick take on of the five most important things (in my opinion) which I did not get the chance to write about this week. Ranging from politics to pop culture to sports, news events to my personal opinion; the Friday five gets out stories that I either chose not to write a full article on, or did not have the time to write about…in 300 words or less!

Quotes to Live By

Every man dies. Not every man really lives. In the end, we're all dead men. Sadly, we cannot choose how, or when. But what we can choose is how we decide to meet that end, so we are remembered forever as men. Greatness, no matter how brief, stays with a man. We're not anxious to die, just anxious to matter - Random

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country! - JFK

I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Edison

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor. - Vince Lombardi

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - MLK

Your ignorance, cramps my conversation. - Sir Anthony Hawkins

The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. - JFK

Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them. - Aristotle

Our gross national product, now, is over $800 billion a year, but that figure counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play, It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything in short except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans." - Robert F Kennedy

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present. -Babatunde Olatunji

People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of power. - Bill Clinton 2008

Well, in all honesty, I don't feel that what I've done is a crime. And I think it's illogical and irresponsible for you to sentence me to prison. Because, when you think about it, what did I really do? I crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of plants. I mean, you say I'm an outlaw, you say I'm a thief, but where's the Christmas dinner for the people on relief? Huh? You say you're looking for someone who's never weak but always strong, to gather flowers constantly whether you are right or wrong, someone to open each and every door, but it ain't me, babe, huh? No, no, no, it ain't me, babe. It ain't me you're looking for, babe. - Johnny Depp Blow (B. Dylan)
