The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
Rick Warren
The proper ending for any story about people it seems to me, since life is now a polymer in which the Earth is wrapped so tightly, should be the same abbreviation, which I now write large because I feel like it, which is this one:ETC.
Kurt Vonnegut
Scandal: gossip made tedious by morality.
Oscar Wilde
And we can celebrate when we have a government that has earned back the trust of the people it serves... when we have a government that honors our Constitution and stands up for the values that have made America, America: economic freedom, individual liberty, and personal responsibility.
John Boehner
One should never make one's debut with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to one's old age.
Starting a new retirement plan for those below a certain age is something tens of millions of Americans have already been through at work.
Mitch Daniels
Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
The course of every intellectual, if he pursues his journey long and unflinchingly enough, ends in the obvious, from which the non-intellectuals have never stirred.
Aldous Huxley
Domestic discretionary spending on education and health care and the environment has been growing at 2 to 3 percent a year. He says we have to rein it in, but he ignores the spending category that is the big spike in the budget.
John Spratt
My readers have to work with me to create the experience. They have to bring their imaginations to the story. No one sees a book in the same way, no one sees the characters the same way. As a reader you imagine them in your own mind. So, together, as author and reader, we have both created the story.
J.K. Rowling
A man should be just cultured enough to be able to look with suspicion upon culture at first, not second hand.
Samuel Butler
I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.
Marc Newson
Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result. (Quoting Churchill)
Ronald Reagan
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
Morihei Ueshiba
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
One of the hardest lessons in young Sam's life had been finding out that the people in charge weren't in charge. It had been finding out that governments were not, on the whole, staffed by people who had a grip, and that plans were what people made instead of thinking.
Terry Pratchett
Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe, and everyone believes, and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood, if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality, it's just not something people want to hear about.
Kristin Chenoweth
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.
Karl Von Clausewitz
Children being children, however, the grotesque Hopping Pot had taken hold of their imaginations. The solution was to jettison the pro-Muggle moral but keep the warty cauldron, so by the middle of the sixteenth century a different version of the tale was in wide circulation among wizarding families. In the revised story, the Hopping Pot protects an innocent wizard from his torch-bearing, pitchfork-toting neighbours by chasing them away from the wizard's cottage, catching them and swallowing them whole.
My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
Lord (George Gordon) Byron
Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.
I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.
Roger Moore
Moralists and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into evil
Mark Twain
It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon which raises the fear that it may not be long before we're paying somebody not to.
Franklin P. Jones
My time has been passed viciously and agreeably; at thirty-one so few years months days hours or minutes remain that Carpe Diem is not enough. I have been obliged to crop even the seconds -- for who can trust to tomorrow?
We cannot evoke the true spirit of sacrifice and velour, so long as we are not free. I know the British Government will not be able to withhold freedom from us, when we have made enough self-sacrifice. We must, therefore, purge ourselves of hatred.
Mahatma Gandhi
A lady of a certain age, which means certainly aged.
Writing is my obsession, my passion. My relationship with it is one of the most complex and agonizing and richly vexing that I have in my life.
Julianna Baggott
I always looked to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine --and I flatter myself (perhaps) that I have pretty well done so --and now the dross is coming.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
It was one of the deadliest and heaviest feelings of my life to feel that I was no longer a boy. From that moment I began to grow old in my own esteem --and in my esteem age is not estimable.
They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?
Casey Stengel
It is very iniquitous to make me pay my debts -- you have no idea of the pain it gives one.
It's such a diversion to be constantly thinking of better ways I can teach people math that my hunger is for that really, for new ways of translating the beauty of it.
Danica McKellar
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on earth.
All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.
Emma Goldman
I stood among them, but not of them; in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
