My first dunk was actually in sixth grade.
My advice to you concerning applause is this: enjoy it but never quite believe it.
Robert Montgomery
Are you really listening... or are you just waiting for your turn to talk?
If you achieve success, you will get applause, and if you get applause, you will hear it. My advice to you concerning applause is this; enjoy it but never quite believe it.
The fates are not quite obdurate; they have a grim, sardonic way of granting them who supplicate the thing they wanted yesterday.
Roselle Mercier Montgomery
What a wonderful faculty is memory! -- the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds -- this faithful witness against us for good or evil.
Susanna Moodie
When things come to the worse, they generally mend.
The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.
Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.
Dwight L. Moody
God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
By the grace of God, I'll be that man.
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words?
We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
No man can resolve himself into Heaven.
God never made a promise that was too good to be true.
Give me a man who says, This one thing I do, and not, These fifty things, I dabble in.
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.
Character is what you are in the dark.
A good example is far better than a good precept.
A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.
For your own good is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.
Janet Frame
Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things.
St. Francis De Sales
The seasons are what a symphony ought to be: four perfect movements in harmony with each other.
Arthur Rubinstein
Success doesn't suck.
Darius Rucker
Who is mightier than death? Those who can smile when death threatens.
Ruckett
Only in dreams does the happiness of the earth dwell.
The fool needs company, the wise solitude.
Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
Though you are disappointed is hope; never let hope fail you! Though one door is shut, there are thousands still open to you.
A vulgar mind is proud in prosperity and humble in adversity. A noble mind is humble in prosperity and proud in adversity.
Anxiety about the future never profits; we feel no evil until it comes, and when we feel it, no counsel helps; wisdom is either too early or too late.
In the perfect wedlock, the man, I should say, is the head, but the woman the heart, with which he cannot dispense.
Between today and tomorrow are graves, and between promising and fulfilling are chasms.
Before everyone stands a image of what he ought to be. So long as he is not that his peace is not complete.
My only wish is that my wishes be at rest.
There is only one blasphemy, and that is the refusal to experience joy.
Paul Rudnick
Do you know what happens when you give a procrastinator a good idea? Nothing!
Donald Gardner
It's not what you take but what you leave behind that defines greatness.
Edward Gardner
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding he sings.
