The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall well in the house of the Lord for ever.	23rd Psalm	To me, this is one of the most powerful and comforting statements that has ever been written.  When I experience pain or sorrow, this statement comforts me.
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved, he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day, not the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and for evermore.	121st Psalm	This is a beautiful soliloquy.  It is not only a statement of my relationship to God, but extols the beauty of the earth.  It has special meaning to me because I used it as the starting point of an essay in junior high school which was the beginning of the development of my writing abilities, now forming a major part of my work.
The fog comes On little cat feet. It sits looking Over harbor and city On silent haunches And then moves on	Carl Sandburg Fog (1916)	Every time I see or think about a cat, this poem runs through my mind.  I also fondly remember reading and discussing it in junior high school English class.
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.	Groucho Marx Saying	Groucho is probably the most irreverant person ever in his comedic life and certainly a wonderful comedian.  He was truly a great artist.
A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing. Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.	Martin Luther Ein' Feste Burg (1529)	Another very powerful religious statement.  This was the first thing that came to my mind after the September 11th terrorist attack.
Live long and prosper.	Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager	This is really the wish of all of us and a restatement of what many others have said.

Me want cookie!!	Cookie Monster of Sesame Street	My hero!

Who's on first, What's on second, I don't know's on third …	Lou Costello (Louis Francis Cristillo) - The Naughty Nineties (1945)	A classic that should never be forgotten.  I cannot listen to this enough and cry with laughter every time I hear it.
Why don't you come up and see me? …Come on up, I'll tell your fortune.	Mae West - She Done Him Wrong (1933)	Yah!!!
