Our aspirations are our possibilities.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace. To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue. To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and let it warm his shins while a February blizzard tosses the trees outside. If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.

The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.

Soren Kierkegaard

Man shapes himself through decision that shape his environment.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

Christy Turlington

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.

J.K. Rowling

I shall endeavour still further to prosecute this inquiry, an inquiry I trust not merely speculative, but of sufficient moment to inspire the pleasing hope of its becoming essentially beneficial to mankind.

Edward Jenner

A handful of soldiers is always better than a mouthful of arguments.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.

Lucretius

The most advertised commodity is not always intrinsically the best; but is sometimes merely the product of a company, with plenty of money to spend on advertising.

Emily Post
