Of course, behaviorism works. So does torture. Give me a no-nonsense, down-to-earth behaviorist, a few drugs, and simple electrical appliances, and in six months I will have him reciting the Athanasian Creed in public.

For all right judgment of any man or things it is useful, nay, essential, to see his good qualities before pronouncing on his bad.

Thomas Carlyle

Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you; Whatever we were to each other, That we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used, Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around thecorner. All is well.

Henry Scott Holland, Canon of St

In middle school, I really didn't have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.

Adam Lambert

The rule for effective governance is simple. It is one Ronald Reagan knew by heart. And one that he successfully employed with Social Security and the Cold War. When there is a problem, you fix it. That is the job you have been sent to do and you cannot wait for someone else to do it for you.

Chris Christie

I love getting consumer reports. I think it's one of my favourite things, studying what people have to say about the product and then trying to make it better.

Maria Sharapova

You don't fall in love with someone because it's convenient.

Harriet Evans

Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.

Les Brown

Time dissipates to shining ether the solid angularity of facts.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

As it turns out, social scientists have established only one fact about single women's mental health: employment improves it.

Susan Faludi

One of the functions of an organization, of any organism, is to anticipate the future, so that those relationships can persist over time.

Kevin Kelly

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Amelia Earhart

[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.

C.S. Lewis
