You are who you will yourself to be
-Sartre
You must do the thing that you think you cannot do
– Eleanor Roosevelt
WHAT WE DO FOR OURSELVES DIES WITH US.
WHAT WE DO FOR OTHERS AND THE WORLD REMAINS AND IS ETERNAL.
-ALBERT PINE
The only dream worth having: To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
-Arundhati Roy
U.S.A. is the slice of a continent. U.S.A. is a group of holding companies, some aggregations of trade unions, a set of laws bound in leather, a radio network, a chain of movie theaters, a column of stock quotations rubbed out and written in by a Western Union boy on a blackboard, a public library full of old newspapers and dog-eared history books with protests scrawled on the margins in pencil. U.S.A. is the world’s greatest river valley fringed with mountains and hills. U.S.A. is a set of big mouthed officials with two many bank accounts. U.S.A. is a lot of men buried in their uniforms in Arlington Cemetery. U.S.A is the letters at the end of an address when you are away from home. But mostly U.S.A. is the speech of the people.
-John Dos Passos
Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
-Thomas Paine
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Courage is doing what you are afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you are scared.
-Eddie Rickenbacker
World War I hero
Time does not change things. Leaders change things.
-Jessie Jackson
Ability without honor is useless.
-Cicero
Always stand on principle, even if you stand alone.
-John Quincy Adams
The consciousness of having done that duty which we owe our country is superior to all other considerations.
George Washington
Similes and Metaphors

I am like the bomb like tick tock
I am like Ali sticking and moving
I am like the undertaker taking everyone’s soul
I am like a star people are always reaching for me
I am so high that it is lonely up here
I am like a star I stay up and above
I am tight like facelifts and I fly high like spaceships
I am like play-do, shape me and form me, I am still play do
I am like a desk, well organized
I am sweet like honey. This is because I am nice
I’m like an earthquake because I will rock your world
I’m like a dwarf because I keep it on the down low

I am like nitroglycern. I blow up easy
I am like a stove that is hotter than the sun
I am like a flower, bright and fragile
I am like an ice cube, I like to keep my cool
I am like the wind I move unnoticed
Chicago is…
Chicago is like a blind person in the middle of the street because we never see what’s coming
Chicago is like fire and rain
I am Chicago that kills souls
Chicago is the sun but hotter
Chicago is like a game
Chicago is like a raisin in the sun
Chicago is like a desert, tough to survive
Chicago is Muhammad Ali, the world’s greatest
Chicago is like a day of excitement with endless times
Chicago is like Chicago because its way different than other cities
The wind of Chicago is like a fan
Chicago is like my house, I cant move away from it
Chicago is like marmalade on bread, sticky
Chicago is cold like a refrigerator
Chicago is the North, it’s so cold
Chicago is like a dart game, you never know where its going to hit next
Chicago is like a mixed flavored ice cream you get the best of both worlds
Chicago is like Antarctica, we gets chilly
Chicago is like Alaska cuz we have blistering winters
Chicago is like soda, you always want more
Chicago is like a fan because it is so windy
Chicago is like a fist, strong and intimidating
Chicago is an execution ground, people getting killed all the time
Chicago is like the flu, it makes you sick
Chciago is like a bite mark, it hurts and is full of pain
Chicago is a Lion, king of Illinois
Chciago is a tree that keeps growing
Chicago is like a firefly the glows at night
Chciago is a fiery pit of hell reincarnated
Chicago is like a firetruck because it lights up
Chciago is a tornado windy and fierce
Chicago is a weasel, sneaky and corrupt
Chciago is beautiful as a rose
Chicago is an onion with many layers
Chicago gets it crackin like a night at OJs house
Chciago is like a hockey game cause no one gets along
Chicago is rough like football
Chicago is like a burrito wrapped in pizza because there are a lot of latinos and blacks
Chciago is like a tv show you never know what to expect
Chciago is prostitute that has been through a lot
Chciago is like a forest, you can get lost
Chicago is like a garbage can dirty and smelly
Chciago is like school because I don’t want to be here.
