The act of bell ringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
The courage of very ordinary people is all that stands between us and the dark.
Pam Brown

Sri Anandamayi Ma
With my 10 fingers and toes and perhaps 80 years of life, the enormity of time threatens the gaskets of my mind.
Chris Hadfield
Try to treat with equal love all the people with whom you have relations. Thus the abyss between 'myself' and 'yourself' will be filled in, which is the goal of all religious worship.
You can trust Charlie Crist.
Charlie Crist
The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other.
MaTsu
There is so much of good in human nature that men grow to like each other upon better acquaintance, and this points to another way in which we may strive to promote the peace of the world.
Elihu Root
Medicine makes people ill, mathematics makes them sad, and theology makes them sinful
Martin Luther King Jr.
To have a quiet mind is to possess one's mind wholly; to have a calm spirit is to possess one's self.
Hamilton Mabie
Critics, like the rest of mankind, are very frequently misled by interest
Samuel Johnson
Love is inseparable from knowledge.
St. Macarius of Egypt
It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously.
J. C. Macaulay
Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.
Mark Twain
Never allow your own sorrow to absorb you, but seek out another to console, and you will find consolation.
Energy has become a national security issue and as technology continues to improve, there will be more debates like the one on Keystone.
Ed Royce
Keep your heart right, even when it is sorely wounded.
It is good to pray for the repair of mistakes, but praying earlier would keep us from making so many. When puzzled, go to prayer and listen.
I come now to tell you for what I am brought here to die, and to give you an account of my faith, which I shall do as in the sight of the living God before whom I am shortly to stand.
Donald Cargill
None shall rule but the humble, And none but Toil shall have
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Repentance may be old-fashioned, but it is not outdated so long as there is sin.
Having come to live in this age is as though one were to have entered another country. Learn its language or risk being left out.
Theodore Bikel
Cranks live by theory, not by pure desire. They want votes, peace, nuts, liberty, and spinning-looms not because they love these things, as a child loves jam, but because they think they ought to have them. That is one element which makes the crank.
Rose Macaulay
I feel by posing for Playboy I've discovered my own sexuality and beauty, and I feel more confident than ever.
Heather Kozar
As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals --or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
I could never have a better teacher in those days than my father.
Tony Visconti
A hot bath! I cry, as I sit down in it! Again as I lie flat, a hot bath! How exquisite a pleasure, how luxurious, fervid and flagrant a consolation for the rigors, the austerities, the renunciation of the day.
Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.
Woody Allen
Sleeping in a bed -- it is, apparently, of immense importance. Against those who sleep, from choice or necessity, elsewhere society feels righteously hostile. It is not done. It is disorderly, anarchical.
'Therefore' is a word the poet must not know.
Andre Gide
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me; For now hath time made me his numbering clock: My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch, Whereto my finger, like a dial's point, Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears. Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is Are clamorous goans, which strike upon my heart, Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans Show minutes, times, and hours.
William Shakespeare
You always have to give 100 percent, because if you don't, someone, someplace, will give 100 percent and will beat you when you meet.
Ed Macauley
Patience and diligence, like faith, remove mountains.
William Penn
Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.
Harvey Fierstein
God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
George MacDonald
Age is not all decay; it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk.

When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over.
I seek to call America home to those principles that gave us birth.
George McGovern
When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth.
