I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands.
Depend upon yourself. Make your judgement trustworthy by trusting it. You can develop good judgement as you do the muscles of your body - by judicious, daily exercise. To be known as a man of sound judgement will be much in your favor.
Grantland Rice
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. Proverbs 18:19
Bible
Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die. Isaiah 22:13
Call no man your father upon the earth, for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Fathers do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
If you're able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that's worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.
Maria Sharapova
Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid. Matthew 14:27
Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.
Plato
Flattery is a form of hatred.
Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas, play with language, solve problems, use my imagination, and draw on my own childhood.
Jack Prelutsky
Put a knife to thy throat, if you're a man given to appetite.
Man shall not live by bread alone.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. Job 14:17
I'm learning as I go. I don't know everything. I never had anybody to look at, nobody ever taught me, and where I'm from I didn't have any famous role models.
Wale
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. Ephesians 1:7
I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches, copies of copies, until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are.
Jose Saramago
And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.
Baruch Spinoza
A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.
Some friends play at friendship, but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. Proverbs 18:24
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.
Virginia Woolf
Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable unto him. A new friend is as new wine: when it is old thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
A friend loveth at all times. Proverbs 17:17
Perhaps there is nothing greater on earth than the sacrifice of youth and beauty, often of high birth, made by the gentle sex in order to work in hospitals for the relief of human misery, the sight of which is so revolting to our delicacy. Peoples separated from the Roman religion have imitated but imperfectly so generous a charity.
Voltaire
I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you - when life opens that door for you, I should say - I think it's important to be giving, to return the love back.
Lady Gaga
A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. Proverbs 27:19
If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.
Paulo Coelho
I married a pretty famous girl, and when we drive through town there's usually a car following us, when I walk out of my front door in Chelsea there's six guys waiting for me.
Kevin Pietersen
Take no thought for tomorrow; for tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Matthew 6:34
This inhuman place makes human monsters.
Stephen King
Because I just like sports, I like athletics and I like competition.
Trishelle Cannatella
A gift blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born?
Henry David Thoreau
Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
The Liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11.25
But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous, then it's the actresses, then it's the designers.
Rachel Hunter
It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
Work is the grand cure for all maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind - honest work, which you intend getting done
Thomas Carlyle
Friendship and money: oil and water.
