Pic of the Day: ♫ “All those days watching from the windows / All those years outside looking in / All that time never even knowing / Just how blind I’ve been / Now I’m here blinking in the starlight / Now I’m here suddenly I see / Standing here it’s all so clear / I’m where I’m meant to be.” ♫ (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Now I’m going to tell you something I’ve kept to myself for years. None of you ever knew George Gipp. He was long before your time, but you all know what a tradition he is at Notre Dame. And the last thing he said to me, ‘Rock,’ he said, ‘sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they’ve got and win just one for the Gipper. I don’t know where I’ll be then, Rock,’ he said, ‘but I’ll know about it and I’ll be happy.'” (80th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “So, um, which way are taking, uh, Suicide Trail through Nightmare Canyon, or the shortcut at Satan’s Ridge?” “Su-Suicide Trail?” “Good choice. More snakes, but less quicksand. Then once you cross Bloodworm Creek, you’re scot free, that is until, um… Dead Dingo Pass.” “Wa-wa-wait a minute, I don’t-I don’t see any-any of that-that stuff on the map.” (30th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Did you know a young boy drowned the year before those two others were killed? The counselors weren’t paying any attention… They were making love while that young boy drowned. His name was Jason. I was working the day that it happened. Preparing meals… here. I was the cook. Jason should’ve been watched. Every minute. He was… he wasn’t a very good swimmer.” (40th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I’m not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain’s going to be? He’s the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they’re friends, like you and me! I should’ve known way back when… You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr Glass.” (20th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know’s on third…” “That’s what I want to find out. I want you to tell me the names of the fellows on the St. Louis team.” “I’m telling you. Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know’s on third…” “You know the fellows’ names?” “Yes.” “Well, then, who’s playin’ first?” “Yes.” “I mean the fellow’s name on first base.” “Who.” “The fellow playin’ first base for St. Louis.” “Who.” “The guy on first base.” “Who is on first.” “Well, what are you askin’ me for?” “I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Who is on first.” “I’m asking YOU who’s on first!” “That’s the man’s name!” “That’s whose name?” “Yes.” (75th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone, if possible. Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say – do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man.” Not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power, the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!” (80th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Napoleon once said, when asked to explain the lack of great statesmen in the world, that ‘to get power you need to display absolute pettiness. To exercise power, you need to show true greatness’. Such pettiness and such greatness are rarely found in one person. I look upon the events of the past weeks and I’ve never come so to grips with that quotation. So, ladies and gentlemen of this Congress, it pains my soul to tell you that you have brought blood and shame under this great dome. Your leadership has raised the stakes of hate to a level where we can no longer separate the demagogue from the truly inspired. And believe this, there are traitors among us. And I’m not talking about those of you who sided against your party leadership. I’m talking about those of you who were patriots to your party but traitors to the necessary end result: that of righteousness, the truth, the concept of making the American dream blind to gender.” (20th Anniversary)
