To world enough and time.
He disliked emotion, not because he felt lightly, but because he felt deeply.
John Buchan
What would you call the highest happiness? Wratislaw was ask. The sense of competence, was the answer, given without hesitation.
Without humility there can be no humanity.
When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.
Warren Farrell
Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.
Fred Allen
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
Richard P. Feynman
He profits most who serves best.Sheldon had attended the 1910 convention in Chicago, and had spoken a similar phrase to the assembled delegates, He profits most who serves his fellows best. When the reading of the Business Methods report was finished, Pinkham jumped to his feet and said, Here is a positive affirmation packaged in six words. Those words should be put into Rotary's platform. The conventioneers agreed with a thunderous round of applause and a standing ovation. The Rotary Platform passed by acclamation on a voice vote. http://www.rotaryhistoryfellowship.org/leaders/sheldon/platform.htm

Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.
Charlie Parker
Maybe a mother wasn't what she seemed to be on the surface.
Jodi Picoult
Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.
Walter Savage Landor
Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He'd heard that writers spent all day in their dressing gowns drinking champagne. This is, of course, absolutely true.
Terry Pratchett
No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.
Minor White
Only the great generalizations survive. The sharp words of the Declaration of Independence, lampooned then and since as 'glittering generalities,' have turned out blazing ubiquities that will burn forever and ever.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
David Bailey, In Face (London),
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence, a belief in the grace of God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake
Martin Luther King Jr.
To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.
John Dewey
Work is the true elixir of life. The busiest man is the happiest man. Excellence in any art or profession is attained only by hard and persistent work. Never believe that you are perfect. When a man imagines, even after years of striving, that he has attained perfection, his decline begins.
Sir Theodore Martin, Said at rea
The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.
David Russell
Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish.
Ovid
My soul is dark with stormy riot: directly traced over to diet.
Samuel Hoffenstein
He has the deed half done who has made a beginning.
Horace
Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose; he has found it, and will follow it! How, as a free-flowing channel, dug and torn by noble force through the sour mudswamp of one's existence, like an ever-deepening river there, it runs and flows;
Thomas Carlyle, Past and Present
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anais Nin
Every intelligent being, whether it breathes or not, coughs nervously at some time in its life.
Good-morrow to thee; welcome: Thou look'st like him that knows a warlike charge: To business that we love we rise betime, And go to't with delight.
William Shakespeare, Antony and
At least two important conservative thinkers, Ayn Rand and Leo Strauss, were unbelievers or nonbelievers and in any case contemptuous of Christianity. I have my own differences with both of these savants, but is the Republican Party really prepared to disown such modern intellectuals as it can claim, in favor of a shallow, demagogic and above all sectarian religiosity?Perhaps one could phrase the same question in two further ways. At the last election, the GOP succeeded in increasing its vote among American Jews by an estimated five percentage points. Does it propose to welcome these new adherents or sympathizers by yelling in the tones of that great Democrat bigmouth William Jennings Bryan? By insisting that evolution is 'only a theory'? By demanding biblical literalism and by proclaiming that the Messiah has already shown himself? If so, it will deserve the punishment for hubris that is already coming its way. (The punishment, in other words, that Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson believed had struck America on Sept. 11, 2001. How can it be that such grotesque characters, calling down divine revenge on the workers in the World Trade Center, are allowed a respectful hearing, or a hearing at all, among patriotic Republicans?)
Christopher Hitchens
No one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
Charles Dudley Warner
It's up to you to be responsible for how you feel if you're not happy. Your happiness lies in your hands. You can't rely on a man to make you happy or complete you. That starts with you.
Taraji P. Henson
We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.
Ben Sweetland
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
Albert Schweitzer
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with others; and along those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.
Herman Melville
No public man in these islands ever believes that the Bible means what it says: he is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist.
Michael Levine
The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one other person.
Vi Putnam
My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you
Socrates
There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.
Matthew McConaughey
Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,But rather a heart inflamed and a soul enchanted.It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a win attached to a claw,But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels forever in flight.Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil.Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in the mirror.But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
Kahlil Gibran
For 50 years, nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium, lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.
James Buchan
If you have an issue with homosexuality, then it comes to your own fear and your own darkness.
