Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.
Never in the history of fashion has so little material been raised so high to reveal so much that needs to be covered so badly.
Cecil Beaton
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.
Leo Tolstoy
But on second thought, after I decreed the state of emergency, I came to the conclusion that that was impossible to achieve without bloodshed because the street protesters were full of anger and nearly out of control. This is why I thought we needed to find another way out.
Eduard Shevardnadze
Then, already, it had brought to his mind the silence brooding over beds in which he had let men die. There as here it was the same solemn pause, the lull that follows battle; it was the silence of defeat. But the silence now enveloping his dead friend, so dense, so much akin to the nocturnal silence of the streets and of the town set free at last, made Rieux cruelly aware that this defeat was final, the last disastrous battle that ends a war and makes peace itself an ill beyond all remedy. The doctor could not tell if Tarrou had found peace, now that all was over, but for himself he had a feeling that no peace was possible to him henceforth, any more than there can an armistice for a mother bereaved of a son or for a man who buries his friend.
Albert Camus
The forgotten man... He works, he votes, generally he prays, but his chief business in life is to pay.
William Graham Sumner
How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. We can't destroy it; if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
Paulo Coelho
My wife has to be the worst cook. In my house, we pray after we eat.
Rodney Dangerfield
The artist may be well advised to keep his work to himself till it is completed, because no one can readily help him or advise him with it...but the scientist is wiser not to withhold a single finding or a single conjecture from publicity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Overall the fundamentals seem to be there and he's obviously got a very mature head on his shoulders. He's got a kind of presence.
Nick Price
I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family.
Rachel Griffiths
By words one transmits thoughts to another, by means of art, one transmits feelings.
Colder by the hour, more dead with every breath.
John Green
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Let them hate so long as they fear.
Lucius Accius
Kinder lieben ihre Eltern zuerst. Nach einer Weile beurteilen sie sie. Selten, wenn je, verzeihen sie ihnen.
Oscar Wilde
It is spectacular. From about five minutes in, when we knew for sure that we were going to have the weather to go, the smile on my face just got bigger and bigger, and I was just beaming through the whole launch. I mean, it is just an amazing ride.
Chris Hadfield
The games we play are lessons we learn. He assumptions we make, things we ignore, and things we change make us what we become.
Terry Pratchett
Given the nature of spiders, webs are inevitable. And given the nature of human beings, so are religions. Spiders can't help making fly-traps, and men can't help making symbols. That's what the human brain is there for - the turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols.
Aldous Huxley
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
Martha Graham
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.
Thomas Paine
They certainly give very strange names to diseases.
Plato
And I understand that, I testified in closed hearings over eight years because there are intelligence matters, there are sensitive matters that should not be held in a public hearing.
Louis Freeh
Love is the only gold.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Here is a pretty good rule of thumb for Democratic Presidents: if it didn't work for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won four terms and a World War, it probably won't work for you either.
Jon Meacham
A little perspective, like a little humor, goes a long way.
Allen Klein
Man dreams of fame while woman wakes to love.
Either sex alone is half itself.
Oh yet we trust that somehow good will be the final goal of ill!
The best things in life are silly.
Scott Adams
Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.
If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.
Kate Upton
Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null, dead perfection; no more.
No rock so hard but that a little wave may beat admission in a thousand years.
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
H. G. Wells
My dad served in the Air Force as ground crew for several years, and doesn't really talk about it. I know that it's there. I think my main thing about direct or indirect experiences as near to home as it were is the idea of self-sacrifice really.
Jeremy Northam
We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.
Ronald Reagan
There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.
Alexis de Tocqueville
It has taken a great deal of energy, which has not been so difficult to summon as the necessary patience to wait, simply wait much of the time - until my instincts assured me that I had assembled my materials in proper order for a final welding into their natural form.
Hart Crane
