I love scents but dislike smells.

S+C+E+N+T = 61 = S+M+E+L+L

“Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.”
-  Diane Ackerman
 
“But, soft! methinks I scent the morning air.” - William Shakespeare
 
“Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.”

Disease = 62= Plague = 62 = Cholera

“America has been a land of dreams. A land where the aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true. Yet now... we are threatened by a new and particularly American menace. It is not the menace of class war, of ideology, of poverty, of disease, of illiteracy, or demagoguery, or of tyranny, though these now plague most of the world. It is the menace of unreality.” -  Daniel J. Boorstin
 
“Disease an never be conquered, can never be quelled by emotion's willful screaming or faith's symbolic prayer. It can only be conquered by the energy of humanity and the cunning in the mind of man. In the patience of a Curie, in the enlightenment of a Faraday, a Rutherford, a Pasteur, a Nightingale, and all other apostles of light and cleanliness, rather than of a woebegone godliness, we shall find final deliverance from plague, pestilence, and famine.”
-  Sean O'Casey 
 
“That's because we looked at what happened in the 1918 pandemic. That caused the greatest number of deaths ever recorded from an infectious disease in a single year, by far. More than the black plague, more than any other infectious disease,” - Dick Thompson

Color = 63 = Tint

A tint is a color with a splash of white.

C+O+L+O+R = 63 = T+I+N+T

When we breach the limit of the finite, we enter the realm of the infinite.

F+I+N+I+T+E = 63 = L+I+M+I+T

“The difficulties in the study of the infinite arise because we attempt, with our finite minds, to discuss the infinite, assigning to it those properties which we give to the finite and limited; but this ... is wrong, for we cannot speak of infinite." - Galileo 
 
“The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.” -  Rabindranath Tagore

"We pray for the leaders in our government on the national and local level; we pray that God will give them Godly wisdom because they have to make tough decisions and sometimes they need some divine help.

And we also pray for all of our federal leaders." - Gary Teague
 
“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.” - Albert Einstein

“'I'll tell you what you can expect,' he said at our kickoff luncheon just a few days later. 'You can expect anything he says or writes may be repeated aloud in your own home in front of your own children. You can believe that he was taught to love and respect all mankind, but to fear no man. And you could believe that his abiding ambitions were to pass on to his family the true richness of the inheritance he received from his father, the bookmaker: The knowledge and love and fear of God, and second, to give you a Super Bowl winner.'” -  John Mara

“And you will leave your name as a curse for my chosen, for the Lord God will slay you and call his servants by another name. He who blesses himself on the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth, and he that swears on the earth shall swear by the God of truth, because the earlier troubles are forgotten and because they are hid from my eyes. For, behold, I create a new heaven and a new earth, and the earlier things shall not be remembered nor come into mind."
