The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.
C.S. Lewis
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect - simply a confession of failures
Oscar Wilde
The progress of rivers to the ocean is not so rapid as that of man to error.
Voltaire
Oh! I killed Bunbury this afternoon... I mean poor Bunbury died this afternoon.What did he die of?Bunbury? Oh, he was exploded!
Truth dont require the aid ov elegant and high stepping words, tew express its force, or buty, it iz like water, tastes better out ov a wooden bucket, than it duz out ov a golden goblet.
Josh Billings
I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
Mindy Kaling
O for a Muse of fire, that would ascendThe brightest heaven of invention,A kingdom for a stage, princes to actAnd monarchs to behold the swelling scene!Then should the warlike Harry, like himself,Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fireCrouch for employment. But pardon, and gentles all,The flat unraised spirits that have daredOn this unworthy scaffold to bring forthSo great an object: can this cockpit holdThe vasty fields of France? or may we cramWithin this wooden O the very casquesThat did affright the air at Agincourt?O, pardon! since a crooked figure mayAttest in little place a million;And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,On your imaginary forces work.Suppose within the girdle of these wallsAre now confined two mighty monarchies,Whose high upreared and abutting frontsThe perilous narrow ocean parts asunder:Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;Into a thousand parts divide on man,And make imaginary puissance;Think when we talk of horses, that you see themPrinting their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth;For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,Carry them here and there; jumping o'er times,Turning the accomplishment of many yearsInto an hour-glass: for the which supply,Admit me Chorus to this history;Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.
William Shakespeare
It is man's own fault, it is from want of use, if his mind grows torpid in old age.
Samuel Johnson
Our struggle is--isn't it?--to achieve and retain faith on a lower level. To believe that there is a Listener at all. For as the situation grows more and more desperate, the grisly fears intrude. Are we only talking to ourselves in an empty universe? The silence is often so emphatic. And we have prayed so much already
High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water.
Mark Twain
Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ms. Bennett, do you know who I am? I am not accustomed to being spoken to in such a manner.
Jane Austen
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.
As art is a habit with reference to things to be done, so is science a habit in respect to things to be known.
William Harvey
If someone can do it, why can't you be that someone to someone.
Koundeenya Dhulipalla
Global warming science is uneven and evolving.
Joe Barton
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken', and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen
Dr. Carl Sagan
Whatever is destroyed, the act of destruction does not vary much. Beauty if vapour from the pit of death.
J. A. Baker
The truth is that judgment and fear will never stop, but they don't actually do anything.
Julien Smith
The idea of celibate vampires is ridiculous. To me, vampires are sex. I don't get a vampire story about abstinence. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.
Alan Ball
Outward beauty is a true sign of inner goodness. This loveliness, indeed, is impressed upon the body in varying degrees as a token by which the soul can be recognized for what it is, just as with trees the beauty of the blossom testifies to the goodness of the fruit.
Baldassare Castiglione
The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue.
Frances Wright
Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed.
Dan Brown
My books are water; those of great geniuses are wine everybody drinks water
Everyone is naked. Everyone wants to hide. But life is sweet. Let it go on.
Orson Scott Card
Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce than with honesty?
He that would pass the latter part of life with honour and decency, must, when he is young, consider that he shall one day be old; and remember, when he is old, that he has once been young.
Free yourself from the complexities of your life! A life of simplicity and happiness awaits you.
Steve Maraboli
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.
Senator John Kerry
The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scripture ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws.
Noah Webster
You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas
Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the descernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in fact, religious.
Albert Einstein
This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
I do not wish to kill nor to be killed, but I can foresee circumstances in which these things would be by me unavoidable.
Henry David Thoreau
Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming, and all of your excuses have NEVER gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!
I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking: I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment
You know, I sometimes think we Sort too soon...
J.K. Rowling
When we age we shed many skins: ego, arrognace, dominance, self-opionated, unreliable, pessimism, rudeness, selfish, uncaring ... Wow, it's good to be old!
Stephen Richards
The science you enjoy now is the science we taught you. The medicine you treat yourselves with is the medicine we gave you. It's the same with the astronomy you know, the mathematics, the literature, the art...
