Earth as we know it came into being through its four great components: land, water, air, and life, all interacting in the light and energy of the sun.

In all death penalty cases, spending time with clients is important.

As I grew up I got cynical. I'd see Mother enthusiastic and involved with charlatans. Numerologists and astrologists who charged five hundred dollars for a 'reading' which was so vague you could twist the meaning any way you wanted. — Anya Seton
