Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.

A frame of adamant, a soul of fire, No dangers fright him, and no labors tire.

Samuel Johnson

Every skill and every inquiry, and similarly every action and rational choice, is thought to aim at some good; and so the good had been aptly described as that at which everything aims.

Aristotle

Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.

Aristotle

Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

Carl Sagan

A man is too apt to forget that in this world he cannot have everything. A choice is all that is left him.

Harry Mathews

Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko.

Bob Ong

We don't want to feel helpless, so we use fear, anger, addiction, or unbridled sexuality to block out our helpless feelings. The fact is that if we cannot openly face our feeling of helplessness, we cannot receive help. It is important that we accept our helplessness, taking it to God and allowing Him to be strong where we are weak. When we let Him be God, we receive continuous healing for our woundedness. But when we hide our pain, helplessness, and insecurity, we find ourselves at the mercy of our narcissistic, wounded false self with its insatiable craving for validation and anesthesia.

David F. Allen, Shattering the G

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

Aesop

Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.

George Whitefield

It was a wonderful experience to work with Sylvia. She pushed me to be more powerful with my acting, and she told me scores of the most incredible stories I've ever heard. She is amazing.

Lukas Haas

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

Barack Obama

It is easier to believe than to doubt.
