A lot of the high-level sports are really in your mind.

Ronald Graham

Argument almost always leaves behind a sore feeling in the heart of the one who has been worsted. By loving teaching, by Christ-like living, we are to win this people for our Lord. They do not understand what disinterested love and unselfishness mean: you are to go and live it amont them.

James Hudson Taylor

Ariel Sharon

The tendency has always been strong to believe that whatever received a name must be an entity or being, having an independent existence of its own.

John Stuart Mill

Margaret Thatcher

Mahatma Gandhi

We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Eleanor Roosevelt
