The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give.
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault. Blaming others, however, keeps us in a stuck state and is ultimately rough on our own self-esteem.
Eric Allenbaugh
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
Victor Hugo
Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us--and those around us -- more effectively. Look for the learning.
Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether God shall be called God or shall have some other name.
Samuel Butler
Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life?
I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men's work?
William Allingham
World trade means competition from anywhere; advancing technology encourages cross-industry competition. Consequently, strategic planning must consider who our future competitors will be, not only who is here today.
Eric Allison
Hire the best. Pay them fairly. Communicate frequently. Provide challenges and rewards. Believe in them. Get out of their way and they'll knock your socks off.
Mary Ann Allison
The creative person wants to be a know -it -all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth -century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.
Carl Ally
She didn't know it couldn't be done, so she went ahead and did it.
Mary S. Almanac
Who we are never changes. Who we think we are does.
There are three kinds of death in this world. There's heart death, there's brain death, and there's being off the network.
Guy Almes
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Steward Alsop
That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along.
Lisa Alther
Success and failure are equally disastrous.
Tennessee Williams
I happen to feel that the degree of a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting attitudes she can bring to bear on the same topic.
Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much, are the three pillars of learning.
Benjamin Disraeli
Both the Moral Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed makes this the most political of diseases.
Dennis Altman
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The ideal of brotherhood of man, the building of the Just City, is one that cannot be discarded without lifelong feelings of disappointment and loss. But, if we are to live in the real world, discard it we must. Its very nobility makes the results of its breakdown doubly horrifying, and it breaks down, as it always will, not by some external agency but because it cannot work.
Kingsley Amis
Outside every fat man there was an even fatter man trying to close in.
History shows that there are no invincible armies.
Joseph Stalin
Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.
There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.
Andrew Carnegie
He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic.
