Famous quotes by James Watt:

"We were looking at the space when we were designing the whole suite of galleries, and we noticed that the ceiling was so tremendously high that we could easily make two floors of it. So what we did -- instead of the original idea of mixing decorative arts and paintings from the 12th century onward -- we have more or less separated the decorative arts from the paintings."

"It should be a continuing embarrassment. And someday there'll be enough compassion that we'll care as much about an American Indian as we do a prairie rat."

"One of the chief considerations of the decorative arts galleries was that they should be suitable for the display of textiles, and for this initial exhibition we have chosen mainly textiles from the 15th through the 17th centuries."

"One of the chief considerations of the decorative arts galleries was that they should be suitable for the display of textiles, and for this initial exhibition we have chosen mainly textiles from the 15th through the 17th centuries,"

"It encompasses practically every form and every style and every technique starting from the 13th century all the way down to the 18th."

"He seemed to have a fascination with this stuff, ... We don't know, really, what he was up to. There were some pretty strange writings."

"A lie can run around the world before the truth can get it's boots on."

"We don't have to protect the environment, the Second Coming is at hand"

"My responsibility is to follow the Scriptures which call upon us to occupy the land until Jesus returns"

When the days stop getting' warm
And the sun starts sinking lower
Weekends go by faster and beer stops tasting colder
Wanna tune into a station that takes me on a soul vacation
Hey there mister DJ, come on wont you please play
One that we can dance to
Start a big romance to
Make it pretty simple so we all can sing along
While cruisin' with the top down, crank it up real loud
A groovy little summer song (Yeah)
Make me feel the rhythm of one tropical island
Take me to a beach somewhere where everyone is smiling
Sipping' margaritas and eyeing senoritas
I can almost see 'em swaying once ya start playing
One that we can dance to
Start a big romance to
Make it pretty simple so we all can sing along
While cruisin' with the top down, crank it up real loud
A groovy little summer song
(Play that guitar now, come on)
Play something sexy to make her fall in love with me
Won't you please
Play One that we can dance to
Start a big romance to
Make it pretty simple so we all can sing along
While cruisin' with the top down, crank it up real loud
A groovy little summer song (Yeah)
One that we can dance to
Start a big romance to
Make it pretty simple so we all can sing along
While cruisin' with the top down, crank it up real loud
A groovy little summer song (Yeah)
My groovy little summer song
Looks like summer time to me

Well I left for work in a hurry
I rushed out the door without sayin' Goodbye
"I didn't tell her I loved her this morning,
But I'll tell her tonite." I thought to myself.
And as I hurried off toward the highway,
This truck outta nowhere caught me by suprise.
He missed me by inches, and my life
Passed in front of my eyes.
I guess that's the reason that they say:
Dance every dance, and live each day,
as though it's your last. And tell those who you love
How you feel, before it's too late.
Life is right here and now.
We only go around just one time.
So embrace em, don't waste em
For these are the days of our lives.
As soon as my legs stopped shakin,
I took a deep breath and turned my car around.
Oh, I'm gonna take that vacation,
That we talked about....startin right now.
Although I know tomorrow will be here,
Tomorrow may not always be here for me.
Cuz nothin in life is for certain.
But death's guaranteed.
And that's the reason that I say:
Dance every dance, and live each day,
as though it's your last. And tell those who you love
How you feel, before it's too late.
Life is right here and now.
We only go around just one time.
So embrace em, don't waste em
For these are the days of our lives.
Yeah, Life is right here and now.
We only go around just one time.
So embrace em, don't waste em
For these are the days of our lives.
Oh, embrace em, don't waste em
For these are the days of our lives.

If I hadn't dropped the ball, I would've took it all the way
Homecoming '89 with ten seconds left to play
We were drivin' toward the goal line, they were screamin' in the stands
I had the chance to be a hero but it slipped right through my hands
There would've been a big pep rally
They would've hung my jersey on the wall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
Me and Cindy Miller were supposed to meet after the game
I waited by the bleachers, but she never came
I found a note on my windshield, underneath the wiper blade
With goodbye bleedin' through it in the cold October rain
We probably would've gotten married
And those recruiters in from 'Bama would've called
If I hadn't dropped the ball
My life would've been so different if in that instant
Things had gone the way I planned
But the fact is that they didn't and the hand I wound up getting
Is something that I'll never understand
I ran away that summer, took a job out on the coast
And that's where I met your mama, and the rest I guess you know
If I had the chance to go back and score that last touchdown
Well, son, I wouldn't do it, 'cause you wouldn't be here now
And I wouldn't be your hero
I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
My life would've been so different if in that instant
Things had gone the way I planned
But the fact is that they didn't and the hand I wound up getting
Is the one that God intended me to have
No, I wouldn't be the man I am at all

Where do you go when no one?s watching only you can see?
I want to know how hot is that fire you burn for me
?Cause all my life girl I?ve been waiting on a love that strong
And maybe this one ain?t it and I can tell it won?t take long
Not as long as I?m the man that I am
Light off shades down candles painting shadows on the wall
Ain?t too hard to understand
What it does every taste every touch going deeper
Awe and it?s a feelin? that I can?t describe
I know you wouldn?t understand unless you were the man that I am
I want to see all those secrets down there where you hide
I want to be the only man that goes that deep inside
?Cause all my life girl I?ve been waitin? on a love that strong
And baby this one is it I can tell it won?t take long
Not as long as I?m the man that I am
Light off shades down candles painting shadows on the wall
Ain?t too hard to understand
What it does every taste every touch going deeper
Awe and it?s a feelin? that I can?t describe
I know you wouldn?t understand unless you were the man that I am
Not as long as I?m the man that I am
Light off shades down candles painting shadows on the wall
Ain?t too hard to understand
What it does every taste every touch going deeper
Awe and it?s a feelin? that I can?t describe
Not as long as I?m the man that I am
Light off shades down candles painting shadows on the wall
Ain?t too hard to understand
What it does every taste every touch going deeper
Awe and it?s a feelin? that I can?t describe
I know you wouldn?t understand unless you were the man that I am
Let me touch you one more time
Let me taste what?s on your mind
Let me be right here beside you
When you wake up baby
I want to be the only man to touch you
I want to be the only man that pleases you
And teases you and takes you higher than you?ve ever been

A hundred miles out of Little Rock
Windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivin? while I pray
She?s asleep in the backseat
Holdin? tight to her teddy bear
She?s got her daddy?s smile and her momma?s hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin? back
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin? down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
All the deals I?ve made with God
The conversations that we?ve had
Tryin? to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle
While those church bells ring
See her get the chance to live all her dreams
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin? back
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin? down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
So sleep tight, baby
While these four wheels roll
?Cause just beyond the clouds
There?s a ray of hope
There?s a place for children
Where God sends his mercy rainin? down
In the heart of Memphis

You call me up
The conversion goes in the usual way
What'cha doin
Whole lot of nothin
Oh it’s been a long long day
And then you mention
You got this bottle of wine
You been savin for awhile
Yeah it’s just waitin to be opened
I can almost hear you smile
Since you brought it up
Why don’t you bring it over
I’d love to see you standin at my door
Your auburn hair fallin down your shoulders
Come on baby what are you waitin for
You got the wine
I’ve got all night
We’re only gettin older
Since you brought it up
Why don’t you bring it over
You been lookin
For that little black dress
You found the perfect one today
Yeah it’s just hangin in the closet
You wanna wear it in the worst of ways
Since you brought it up
Why don’t you bring it over
I’d love to see you standin at my door
That little strap kinda fallin off your shoulder
Come on baby it’s what you bought it for
You got the wine
I’ve got all night
We’re only gettin older
Since you brought it up
Why don’t you bring it over
You say the loneliness has got you down tonight
Your body’s tired and it’s wound up tight
Since you brought it up
Why don’t you bring it over
I’d love to see you standin at my door
Kick off your shoes and let me rub your shoulders
Come on baby what are you waitin for
You got the wine
I’ve got all night
Were only gettin older
Since you brought it up
Why don’t you bring it over

She walks around late at night
In my old Allman Brother's T-shirt
And not much else
There's a hint of her perfume
In the air, she lets her hair dry
All by itself
Then she shits down next to me
Paints her toes
Asks me why I'm staring
She knows what she does to me
All the little things set fire to my soul
And I love that girl and I go out of my way
To find a way every day, to make sure she knows
I might call to say, "How's your day?"
Or stop off at the Chevrom
And buy a rose
I might save a little cash from my check
And get that dress
She thought she'd have to sew
I'll make her a card
And scratch out words
And still not get it right
She knows what she does to me
All the little things set fire to my soul
And I love that girl and I go out of my way
To find a way every day, to make sure she knows
She knows what she does to me
All the little things set fire to my soul
And I love that girl and I go out of my way
To find a way every day, to make sure

Grand-daddy came home in a B-52
In a pine box covered in red, white and blue
He was one of the brave and the proud and the few
Twenty-one guns helped us say goodbye
I stood there in silence tryin' hard not to cry
As the preacher, he quoted, lines written in red
And then he folded his bible and in a broken voice, he said
There's only two people who's every died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never picked the fight, but they're there
To pick up the pieces
God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
It seems like the news loves to run 'em both down
But whenever we need 'em, they're always around
So don't hand me a party's political views
'Cause they're a left side, a right side, and then there's the truth
There's only two people who's every died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never picked the fight, but they're there
To pick up the pieces
God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
To me, they're both heroes for the path that they chose
'Cause one fights for my life, one fights for my soul
There's only two people who's every died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never picked the fight, but they're there
To pick up the pieces
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus

Your bags are packed and your cab's out back
Guess it's too late to change your mind
But before you leave, do one thing for me
Just turn around and look me in the eyes
And say, you'll love me but you need a little time
Make me believe that you're still mine
Tell me anything even if it's just a lie
But never, never, never say goodbye
Baby, please, I'm on my knees
I'm begging you not to close that door
'Cause I can't live without you
'Cause everything about you makes my life worth living for
So say, you'll love me but you need a little time
Make me believe that you're still mine
Tell me anything even if it's just a lie
But never, never, never say goodbye, yeah
Ooh, so say you'll love me but you need a little time, just a little time
Make me believe that you're still mine
Tell me anything even if it's just a lie

I pick up the phone that's ringin' inside my head
It's your old familiar voice drippin' like honey
Sayin', c'mon, c'mon, let's tie one on
Your know I can be there in a heartbeat
Baby, if you're lonely, yeah
I hear you knock at the door
Against my will
If I know you, well, you're dressed to kill
Hello there, Miss Temptation
Is it my imagination?
Didn't we have this conversation
Just the other day
I've worked like hell to get this far
To drive you out but here you are
And once again we're standin' face to face
Miss Temptation
You talk your way through my door
And now I'm surrounded by the smell of wine
And smoke and perfume
One poison kiss from your ruby lips
The next thing ya know I'm lyin' on the floor
Of a spinnin' room
I'm not strong enough
I'm on my knees
I need an act of God to make you leave
Hello there, Miss Temptation
Is it my imagination?
Didn't we have this conversation
Just the other day
Well, I've worked like hell to get this far
To drive you out but here you are
And once again we're standin' face to face
Miss Temptation
Miss temptation, yeah
Hello there, Miss Temptation
Is it my imagination?
Didn't we have this conversation
Just the other day
Well, I've worked like hell to get this far
To drive you out but here you are
Once again we're standin' face to face
Miss Temptation, Miss Temptation
I pick up the phone that's ringin' inside my head
It's your old familiar voice
