Food is not just eating energy. It's an experience.
Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, politicians. All three need supervision.
Dick Armey
To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.
Adlai E. Stevenson
I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.
Marilyn Monroe
It remains to consider what attitude thoughtful men and Christian believers should take respecting them, and how they stand related to beliefs of another order.
Asa Gray
You can't tell a woman who is called by God to teach that she cannot teach the Word of God... So I think the distinction is that there's a difference between the authority of a pastor and a Bible teacher.
Charles Stanley
A sound like a sound of thunder rolled, And the heart of a nation stirred
William Ross Wallace, 1851
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,To weep is to risk appearing sentimentalTo reach out to another is to risk involvement,To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true selfTo place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their lossTo love is to risk not being loved in return,To hope is to risk despair,To try is to risk to failure.But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing is nothing.He may avoid suffering and sorrow,But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.Only a person who risks is free.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Out of the hard and unusual struggle through which he is compelled to pass, he gets a strength, a confidence, that one misses whose pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race.
Booker T. Washington
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
The way to succeed is to double your error rate.
Thomas J. Watson
First, there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament, but are clearly revealed, a charm felt in Japanese architecture.
Gustav Stickley
Life itself is a matter of salesmanship.
Thomas J. Watson, Men
Roses grow on thorns and honey wears a sting.
Isaac Watts
Persistence is a strong will. Obstinance is a strong won
Anon.
I got to the point where the vampire began describing his brother's death, and the whole thing just exploded! Suddenly, in the guise of Louis, a fantasy figure, I was able to touch the reality that was mine. It had something to do with growing up in New Orleans, this strange, decadent city full of antebellum houses. It had something to do with my old-guard Catholic background. It had something to do with the tragic loss of my daughter and with the death of my mother when I was fourteen. Through Louis' eyes, everything became accessible. But I didn't ask when I was writing what it meant; I only asked if it felt authentic. There was an intensity--an intensity that's still there when I write about those characters. As long as it is there, I will go on with them. In some way they are a perfect metaphor for me.
Anne Rice, (regarding writing In
The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain - until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.
Jane Addams
I hate art auctions.
Jerry Saltz
Galinda didn't see the verdant world through the glass of the carriage; she saw her own reflection instead. She had the nearsightedness of youth. She reasoned that because she was beautiful she was significant, though what she signified, and to whom, was not clear yet...She was, after all, on her way to Shiz because she was smart. But there was more than one way to be smart.
Gregory Maguire
O honorable strumpet
William Shakespeare
Not being able to fully understand God is frustrating but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending. What a stunted, insignificant god that would be! If my mind is the size of a soda can and God is the size of all the oceans, it would be stupid for me to say He is only the small amount of water I can scoop into my little can. God is so much bigger, so far beyond our time-encased, air/food/sleep-dependent lives.
Francis Chan
The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.
Junot Diaz
The process of discovering your fearless self is of refinement, not adding. The best way to reconnect with your freedom is to look at the rules you have that govern your freedom.
Steve Maraboli
I was the oldest of the children in my family. I had to do a lot of diaper-changing and lunch-making. I was taking my little sister to ballet, picking up my brother, sort of being a super-nanny.
Vin Diesel
Winners lose much more often than losers. So if you keep losing but you're still trying, keep it up! You...re right on track.
Matthew Keith Groves
It is seldom that we find either men or places such as we expect them.... Yet it is necessary to hope, though hope should always be deluded, for hope itself is happiness, and its frustrations, however frequent, are yet less dreadful than its extinction.
Samuel Johnson
Some of us cannot be optimists, but all of us can be bigamists
Mark Twain
War is to man what maternity is to a woman. From a philosophical and doctrinal viewpoint, I do not believe in perpetual peace.
Benito Mussolini
I'm sad to say that stardom is a commodity in our culture.
Christine Baranski
Darkness is only driven out with light, not more darkness.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Ten to 20 years out, driving your car will be viewed as equivalently immoral as smoking cigarettes around other people is today.
Marc Andreessen
I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.
Vince Carter
Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.
Ambrose Bierce
I think first and foremost everybody should understand that Canadians are strongly committed to the system of universal health insurance, to the principle that your ability to pay does not determine your access to critical medical service.
Stephen Harper
Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
Colin Powell
When others walk away from a lost cause, then that is the time you can step in and seize success.
Stephen Richards
There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.
George Galloway
In order to be just, you should make a self-sacrifice, be unjust to yourself.
Leo Tolstoy
For me, food is all about balance. If you eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and an appropriate amount of poultry, fish, and red meat that are sourced from good places, you're doing well. It's important to make sure that the meat you're consuming is hormone-free.
Curtis Stone
When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.
Thornton Wilder
Llegaste a mi vida y de repente tuve una verdad a la que aferrarme: que yo te amaba y tú me amabas.
