It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it. – Douglas MacArthur

The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself. – Anna Brownell Jameson

There are people that if they don’t know, you can’t tell ‘em. – Louis Armstrong

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. – Edward R. Murrow

So long as we have faith in our fairytales, we are none the worse. – Ellen Glasgow

All are creative but few are artists. – Paul Goodman

These are mostly new songs to me. Somewhere Beyond the Sea is familiar to anyone who has seen Finding Nemo, of course, and I heard It’s Amore in one form or another from the time I could walk. But the rest are new friends to me. I hope, whether they are old or new to you, readers, that they are no less enjoyable.

Happy hearing!
