The actions you take today can propel you into a better position tomorrow.

Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

Samuel Johnson

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

Kurt Vonnegut

The basic truth of all things, as nearly as we may ever dream of determining and knowing this truth, is form, that which is, as it is. The way and shape of the thing no less than the thing itself.

William Saroyan

I love my children. That will never change. I have prayed to them for forgiveness and hope that they will forgive me. I never meant to hurt them!!

Susan Smith

God cannot alter the past, but historians can.

Samuel Butler

This force, which is the best thing in you, your highest self, will never respond to any ordinary half-hearted call, or any milk-and-water endeavor, It can only be reached by your supremest call, your supremest effort. It will respond only to the call that is backed up by the whole of you, not part of you; you must be all there in what you are trying to do. You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure... Only a masterly call, a masterly will, a supreme effort, intense and persistent application, can unlock the door to your inner treasure and release your highest powers.

Orison Swett Marden

At the end of the day, money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.

Sean Parker

I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

The glories of our blood and state
 Are shadows, not substantial things;
 There is no armour against fate;
 Death lays his icy hands on kings.

Oscar Wilde

What can you say to a man who tells you he prefers obeying God rather than men, and that as a result he's certain he'll go to heaven if he cuts your throat?

Voltaire

Dreams seem to have a will of their own.

Henry Reed

I love being in the gym.

Scott Brooks
