Nothing is more generally known than our duties which belong to Christianity and yet, how amazing is it, nothing is less practiced?
George Whitefield
Washington, D.C. is what is broken, not the immigration policies. We have good laws. We have people suffer every day because of government's failure to enforce the law and be respectful to the process we have. We have a pathway to citizenship already in place.
Russell Pearce
Freedom from care and anxiety of mind is a blessing, which I apprehend such people enjoy in higher perfection than most others, and is of the utmost consequence.

Jason Lee
We virtually never feel our age, but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.
Martha Beck

When you are studying jazz, the best thing to do is listen to records or listen to live music. It isn't as though you go to a teacher. You just listen as much as you can and absorb everything.
Carla Bley

Jeanne Moreau
The first great gift we can bestow on others is a good example.
