"Character is power; it is the invisible force 

that inspires respect and shapes destiny. 

Without character, power is fleeting; 

with character, power is eternal."

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

"Never miss an opportunity to show your love,

especially to your loved ones,

because we are always more cautious

with them for fear of getting hurt."

Catherine Annette Hanshaw was an American Jazz Age singer. She was
one of the most popular radio stars of the late 1920s and early 1930s,
with many of her most notable performances taking place on NBC's Maxwell
House Show Boat. Over four million of her records had been sold by
1934, following the peak of her popularity.

In her ten-year recording career, she recorded about 250 sides. In a
1934 poll conducted by Radio Stars magazine, she received the title of
best female popular singer. Second place went to Ethel Shutta, third
place went to Ruth Etting, and fourth place went to Kate Smith.

She was a prolific performer (with over 780 recordings!), and made
records under dozens of pseudonyms including Gay Ellis for sentimental
songs, Dot Dare and Patsy Young (for Betty Boop impressions), as well
as Ethel Bingham, Marion Lee, Janet Shaw, and Lelia Sandford.

“I think that when we grow up, we forget 

all the difficulties of childhood. 

I remember feeling anxious most of the time. 

It’s not always true that children are happier 

than adults, even if you had a happy childhood.”

“We had the experience,

but we lacked the meaning.

And the approach to meaning

restores the experience

in a different way.”

~ T.S. Eliot ~

"He gazed for a moment at the stars,

so distant, so many, bright and cold.

And with a faint smile he thought:

'I wonder which one is my lucky star!'"

"Never stop dreaming,

never stop believing,

never give up,

never stop trying, and

never stop learning."
