Alcohol doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.

Work banishes those three great evils: boredom, vice and poverty.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Between lovers a little confession is a dangerous thing.

Helen Rowland

The secret of dealing successfully with a child is not to be its parent.

Mel Lazarus

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

Don Marquis

It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.

Woody Allen

Is it a coincidence that in 1998, Barack Obama talks about a majority coalition of welfare recipients and in 2012 we got a record number of Americans on food stamps while he's president? I don't think it's a coincidence.

Rush Limbaugh

One cannot demand of a scholar that he show himself a scholar everywhere in society, but the whole tenor of his behavior must none the less betray the thinker, he must always be instructive, his way of judging a thing must even in the smallest matters be such that people can see what it will amount to when, quietly and self-collected, he puts this power to scholarly use.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

You are within God. God is within you.

Peace Pilgrim

He knew that any given thing on the face of the earth could reveal the history of all things. One could open a book to any page, or look at a person's hand; one could turn a card, or watch the flight of birds... whatever the thing observed, one could find a connection with his experience of the moment. Actually, it wasn't that those things, in themselves, revaled anything at all; it was just that people, looking at what was ocurring around them, could find a means of penetration to the Soul of the World.

Paulo Coelho

Death was afraid of him because he had the heart of a lion.

Arabic Proverb

When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place.

Bhagavad Gita

Nothing in the nature around us is evil. This needs to be repeated since one of the human ways of talking oneself into inhuman acts is to cite the supposed cruelty of nature.

John Berger
