The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
The most powerful control we can ever attain, is to be in control of ourselves.
Chris Page
No name-calling truly bites deep unless, in some dark part of us, we believe it. If we are confident enough then it is just noise.
Laurell K Hamilton
I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.
David Blaine
Concentration attracts luck factor.
Amit Ray
The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.
Carl Sagan
Respect can only be given to those who have earned it by working for it.
Habeeb Akande
What is this world? what asketh men to have? Now with his love, now in his colde grave Allone, withouten any compaignye.
Geoffrey Chaucer
My mind begs for you in the soft, secret, silent places of the night... I thirst for you and without you my soul is a desert. I thought when I first met you, first saw you, that I loved you more than any woman had ever loved a man, but now I know the feeling only grows within me. You are the song I sing each day, each moment, each second. You are the melody of my life...
Gloria Smith
Falling in love with a writer is a dangerous thing, isn't it? The only thing you get out of it sometimes is immortality.
Darnell Lamont Walker
The great object of life is sensation- to feel that we exist, even though in pain.
George Gordon Byron
You collect art: you must know that the miniature artists, at the end of careers spent painting the tiniest, most exacting details that no one would ever look at, would often put their eyes out with needles. Too much beauty, yes, but also too much seeing. They were tired of seeing. The dark was safe and warm and comfortable. Blindness was a gift. I still have seeing to do.
Ian McDonald
You speak truth, said Themistocles; I should never have been famous if I had been of Seriphus; 4 nor you, had you been of Athens.
Plutarch
The Universe contains three things that cannot be destroyed; Being, Awareness and LOVE
Deepak Chopra
In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love. One of the greatest trials of marriage is the absence of solitude. In the first moments of human love, one does not see the little hidden deformities which later on appear.
Fulton J. Sheen
The realization, early in high school, that a particle behaved differently if observed or left alone.
Lara Santoro
Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.
Richard P. Feynman
We are enjoined to love our neighbor, not our tribe.
Chris Hedges
Chris says it's all in the doing, but to tell you the truth, there's a lot to be said for the having.
Jeff Melvoin
Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it
Confucius
Because the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town. You can save face but you won't ever save your soul. And that's a fact.
Conor Oberst
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story
Max Ehrman
That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.
Tim O'Brien
We should not be ashamed to acknowledge truth and to assimilate it from whatever source it comes to us, even if it is brought to us by former generations and foreign peoples. For him who seeks the truth there is nothing of higher value than truth itself; it never cheapens or debases him who reaches for it but ennobles and honors him.
Yaqub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi
The immediate future is going to be tragic for all of us unless we find a way of making the vast educational resources of this country serve the true purpose of education, truth and justice.
Anne Sullivan Macy
All in all, Engels talked so much rot of every kind, that now all the world's academies of science should be directed to rectify his mistakes and idiocies.
Aleksandr Zinovyev
I believe in me. And my family does. And Mrs. V. It's the rest of the world I'm not so sure of.
Sharon M. Draper
I love my mother, not as a prisoner of atherosclerosis, but as a person; and I must love her enough to accept her as she is, now, for as long as this dwindling may take.
Madeleine L'Engle
Complain and remain. Praise and be raised.
Joyce Meyer
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
Leonard Cohen
No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent.
John Jay
Let us stand on the scaffold of history---if hang we must---like the martyrs of Nuremberg, tall and proud! Is life so sweet, is comfort so precious and a job in a Jewish counting house so sacred that we are AFRAID to grasp the mighty hand of ADOLF HITLER reaching down to us our of our glorious past?
George Lincoln Rockwell
I have always loved science fiction. One of my favorite shows is 'Star Trek.' I like the trips, where it drops my mind off, because they give you a premise and all of a sudden, you say, 'Oh!' and I'm fascinated by it.
Leslie Nielsen
Knightley Academy stood out against the moonlight in silhouette, a ramshackle collection of chimneys, turrets and gables. Both boys stopped to take in the sight of the manicured lawns and tangled woods, the soaring chapel and the ivy-covered brick of the headmaster's house. They were home. For this, Henry felt, was home. Not some foreign castle encircled by guard towers, but this cozy, bizarre assortment of buildings with its gossiping kitchen maids and eccentric professors and clever students.
Violet Haberdasher
As Christians, we are not to beg for signs and wonders but, to command them all the time and not some of the time.
Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
Do something every day that is loving toward your body and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the sensations of your body.
Golda Poretsky
An extraterrestrial being, newly arrived on Earth - scrutinizing what we mainly present to our children in television, radio, movies, newspapers, magazines, the comics, and many books - might easily conclude that we are intent on teaching them murder, rape, cruelty, superstition, credulity, and consumerism. We keep at it, and through constant repetition many of them finally get it.
I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time.
Drew Bledsoe
You are wonderfully made. Everything about you is miraculous. Toss aside those self-doubts and criticisms. Celebrate, today, the miracle of you!
Sheri Kaye Hoff
To cheapen the lives of any group of men, cheapens the lives of all men, even our own. This is a law of human psychology, or human nature. And it will not be repealed by our wishes, nor will it be merciful to our blindness.
William Pickens
Theologians talk about a prevenient grace that precedes grace itself and allows us to accept it. I think there must also be a prevenient courage that allows us to be brave - that is, to acknowledge that there is more beauty than our eyes can bear, that precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm. And therefore, this courage allows us, as the old men said, to make ourselves useful. It allows us to be generous, which is another way of saying exactly the same thing.
