He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
A quest for knowledge is not a war with faith spirituality is not usually an infelicitous amalgam of superstition and philistinism and moral relativism, taken outside midfield, leads inexorably both to heresy and to secular wickedness, which are often identical.
Conrad Black
It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.
Albert Einstein
I turn a lot of stuff down - big, big movies, the kind I wouldn't want to go to the cinema to see.
Matthew Fox
The show is 'Fix My Life!' Get it? Life. I do not fix people.
Iyanla Vanzant
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
Zelda Fitzgerald
When finally she finished and stood herself up, he put his arm around her, best-buddy style, and they walked on. There was no request for a kiss. Nothing like that. You can love Rudy for that, if you like.
Markus Zusak
She was like a wound beneath an old bandage, and he had grown more used to the bandage.
Mitch Albom
Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.
Kelly McGonigal
It facilitates labor and thought so much that there is always the temptation in large schools to omit the endless task of meeting the wants of each single mind, and to govern by steam. But it is at frightful cost. Our modes of Education aim to expedite, to save labor; to do for masses what cannot be done for masses, what must be done reverently, one by one: say rather, the whole world is needed for the tuition of each pupil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Altruism is for thosewho can't endure their desires.There's a worldas ambiguous as a moan,a pleasure moanour earnest neighborsmight think a crime.It's where we could live.I'll say I love you,Which will lead, of course,to disappointment,but those words unsaidpoison every next moment.I will try to disappoint youbetter than anyone else has.--Mon Semblable
Stephen Dunn
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
Isaac Asimov
It's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end.
Bjork
Happy the man, whose wish and careA few paternal acres bound,Content to breathe his native airIn his own ground.
Alexander Pope
Any sufficiently badly-written science is indistinguishable from magic.
Aaron Allston
When you experience a failure as a leader, don't hide it - talk about it. Your missed opportunity will encourage others to take risks.
Naveen Jain
Who knows the life which does not burn its own time moments?
Sorin Cerin
Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death.
Carl Sagan
Do I know I'm right? Judgements aren't the same as facts. Instinct is not science. I'm like any other human being, as fallible and as capable of being wrong. I only know what I believe.
Tony Blair
Love life first, then march through the gates of each season; go inside nature and develop the discipline to stop destructive behavior; learn tenderness toward experience, then make decisions based on creating biological wealth that includes all people, animals, cultures, currencies, languages, and the living things as yet undiscovered; listen to the truth the land will tell you; act accordingly.
Gretel Ehrlich
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
Jimi Hendrix
Things are not bad in themselves, but our cowardice makes them so.
Michel de Montaigne
The way of truth is like a great road. It is not difficult to know it. The evil is only that men will not seek it.
Mencius
Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.
Orlando Bloom
People usually feel funny, smile and laugh when I tell them about my strong belief in the very existence of prehistoric advanced technology and great civilizations of wilier races. I just can't wait to see their faces at time the truth is revealed.
Toba Beta
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
Daphne du Maurier
Things should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.
TB is like living with a bomb in your lungs. You just lie around very quietly hoping it won't go off
Sylvia Plath
All things that we ordained festival,Turn from their office to black funeral;Our instruments to melancholy bells,Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast,Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change,Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse,And all things change them to the contrary.
William Shakespeare
Citizen Kane is perhaps the one American talking picture that seems as fresh now as the day it opened. It may seem even fresher.
Pauline Kael
Art indeed may not change anything, and yet on some very basic level, life is insupportable without it.
Richard Matturro
Loveliest of women! heaven is in thy soul, Beauty and virtue shine forever round thee, Bright'ning each other! thou art all divine!
Joseph Addison
People say I've had a difficult time in life. I think I've had an exciting time in life.
To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
William Hazlitt
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life IS worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
James Truslow Adams
You might think what I tell you next is all a dream, or that I've imagined it. I can't help it if that's what you think, but I swear it's true. Sometimes the truest things are the hardest to believe.
Glenda Millard
My love, can't you seehow much i love theeFor i through your eyesshall seeOur great lovefor all eternity
Amal Sagheer
We really don't know how to love each other because we haven't really learned to love ourselves. In many instances, not all, it's not malicious. We've just been conditioned to such bad behavior.
I love my beauty. It's not my fault.
Valentino Garavani
The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented. Even the eyes of all humanity are not enough. I regret that the brutes connot write books. Very gladly would I learn what face things present to a mouse or a bee; more gladly still would I perceive the olfactory world charged with all the information and emotion it carries for a dog. Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality... in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad of eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.
C.S. Lewis
Life is like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
