Never trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God.
How charming is divine philosophy!Not harsh and crabb
John Milton
I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.
Imelda Marcos
Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich von Schiller, The Maid
But as for those who live without knowing Him and without seeking Him... this religion obliges us always to regard them, so long as they are in this life, as capable of the grace which can enlighten them...
Blaise Pascal
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.
Isaac Asimov
I write early in the morning, usually after reading portions of at least half a dozen newspapers on the web.
Alan Dean Foster
Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.
Thomas Sowell
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship it just obviously wasn't right for me.
Portia de Rossi
One grave in every graveyard belongs to the ghouls. Wander any graveyard long enough and you will find it - water stained and bulging, with cracked or broken stone, scraggly grass or rank weeds about it, and a feeling, when you reach it, of abandonment. It may be colder than the other gravestones, too, and the name on the stone is all too often impossible to read. If there is a statue on the grave it will be headless or so scabbed with fungus and lichens as to look like fungus itself. If one grave in a graveyard looks like a target for petty vandals, that is the ghoul-gate. If the grave wants to make you be somewhere else, that is the ghoul-gate.
Neil Gaiman
Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
John Irving
I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and women trample themselves and die. Something magnificent is taking place here amidst the cruelties and tragedies, and the supreme challenge to intelligence is that of making the noblest and best in our curious heritage prevail.
Charles Austin Beard
There is no law of progress. Our future is in our own hands, to make or to mar. It will be an uphill fight to the end, and would we have it otherwise? Let no one suppose that evolution will ever exempt us from struggles. 'You forget,' said the Devil, with a chuckle, 'that I have been evolving too.'
W. R. [William Ralph] Inge
And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now.
Trent Reznor
A calcined, scalped, rasped, scraped, flayed, broiled, powdered, leprous, blotched, mangy, grimy, parboiled country without trees, water, grass, fields ... it is infinitely liker hell than earth, and one looks for tails among the people.
Algernon Charles Swinburne, desc
You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things -- to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.
Edmund Hillary
I shall proceed from the simple to the complex. But in war more than in any other subject we must begin by looking at the nature of the whole for here more than elsewhere the part and the whole must always be thought of together.
Karl Von Clausewitz
I must interpret the life around me as I interpret the life that is my own. My life is full of meaning to me. The life around me must be full of significance to itself. If I am to expect others to respect my life, then I must respect the other life I see, however strange it may be to mine.
Albert Schweitzer
Women being pitted each other another in Hollywood is an old tactic, but it's not real at all.
Shirley MacLaine
True morality makes fun of morality.
A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought, and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Offered a job as book critic for magazine as a young man, Bellow had been interviewed by Chambers and asked to give his opinion about William Wordsworth. Replying perhaps too quickly that Wordsworth had been a Romantic poet, he had been brusquely informed by Chambers that there was no place for him at the magazine. Bellow had often wondered, he told us, what he ought to have said. I suggested that he might have got the job if he'd replied that Wordsworth was a once-revolutionary poet who later became a conservative and was denounced by Browning and others as a turncoat. This seemed to Bellow to be probably right. More interesting was the related question: What if he'd that job?
Christopher Hitchens
True happiness is of a retired nature, and an enemy to pomp and noise; it arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Joseph Addison
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C.S. Lewis
Could you really love someone who was capable of falling in love with someone else?
Jodi Picoult
The first law of dietetics seems to be if it tastes good, its bad for you.
There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.
Tiger Woods
We sit for a few more moments, although there's really nothing left to say. This is new to me, too, an entire conversation that takes place in silence, because the heart has its own language. I will remember what Eric says even though he doesn't say a word. I will tell it to her.
If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavored chocolate... and marvels will be performed.
JeanAnthelme BrillatSavarin
The federal debt in this country is principally of Republican design.
Daniel Keys Moran
Because - oh shut up laughing, you two - because they've just been turned down by girls they asked to the ball!
J.K. Rowling
Those who have been too long at their labor, who have drunk too long at the cup of voluptuousness, who feel they have become temporarily inhumane, who are tormented by their families, who find life sad and love ephemeral; they should all eat chocolate and they will be comforted.
There is nothing frightening about an eternal dreamless sleep. Surely it is better than eternal torment in Hell and eternal boredom in Heaven.
I asked her if she enjoys a cigarette after sex. She said...No, one drag is enough.
Rodney Dangerfield
Death, the most dreaded of all evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.
Epicurus, letter
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.
Zooey Deschanel
My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh - anything but work.
Abraham Lincoln
And who shall separate the dustWhat later we shall be:Whose keen discerning eye will scanAnd solve the mystery?The high, the low, the rich, the poor,The black, the white, the red,And all the chromatique between,Of whom shall it be said:Here are the sons of Africa;Here lies the dust of Rome;Here lies the one unlabeled,The world at large his home!Can one then separate the dust?Will mankind lie apart,When life has settled back againThe same as from the start?
Georgia Douglas Johnson, Commom
The man who ventures to write contemporary history must expect to be attacked both for everything he has said and everything he has not said
Voltaire
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.
Francis Bacon, Essays, 1625
I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.
