Potent Quotables!

In the weekly e-mails my youth pastor send out to the jr & sr highers, he adds a section called potent quotables. these are little sayings that he's found that range from funny to sincere to patriotic to thought provoking. they are call potent because they were ment to stay with us through out the week...well i thought it was a good idea and i wanted to share it with my OCFF family! they don't have to be qoutes, they can be funny little dialogues or even just a saying that you made up just a while ago...


i'll start:


Ganner: "I've heard the Pesktda Xenobotanical Garden is worth seeing."
Corran: "Yeah, well, don't figure you're going to get time to read all the exhibit signs."
(Ganner frowns, Jacen smiles.)
Jacen: "Hey, at least he thinks you can read."
(Dark Tide II: Ruin)

To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To hope is to risk disappointment.

He cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live.
