So, let us not be blind to our differences But let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breath the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.

Happy Birthday John F. Kennedy! (29 May 1917 to 22 November 1963)

“If I wasn’t an actor, I think I’d have gone mad. You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament to reach certain heights. Art is a little bit larger than life- it’s an exhalation of life and I think I you probably need a little touch of madness.”

Happy Birthday Laurence Kerr Olivier (May 22nd, 1907 - July 11th, 1989)

“Jimmy Stewart, in one of his first film roles, played the deranged culprit, and darn well, too. He was very excited and enthusiastic about it all, rushing around with his camera taking pictures of everybody on the set, declaring ‘I’m going to marry Myrna Loy!’”

I’m the inarticulate man that tries. I’m a pretty good example of true human frailty. I don’t really have all the answers, I have very few of the answers. But for some reason, somehow, I make it.

Happy birthday James Stewart (May 20, 1908 – July 2, 1997)
