The BBC can be infuriating at times but I love it with a passion.

The downside of spiritual education is the buildup of the vanity of 'I know' and the devaluation of people who are 'not spiritual'. Therefore it is important as a foundation to spiritual training and education to learn how consciousness manifests as the ego and its mechanisms.

David R. Hawkins

Doing for people what they can and ought to do for themselves is a dangerous experiment. In the last analysis the welfare of the workers depends upon their own initiative. Whatever is done under the guise of philanthropy or social morality which in any way lessens initiative is the greatest crime that can be committed against the toilers. Let social busy-bodies and professional public morals experts in their fads reflect upon the perils they rashly invite under this pretense of social welfare.

Samuel Gompers

Because love was a light that wouldn't allow darkness to reign in his soul.

Karen Kingsbury

Growing up with my family gave me some of my best memories. I'd like to have a family of my own - slip away for a bit and do nothing but spend those early years with my children.

Katherine Jenkins

Are you angry that others disappoint you? remember you cannot depend upon yourself

Benjamin Franklin

Cowards are cruel, but the brave Love mercy, and delight to save.

John Gay

We were never a family that had a lot. We had enough, but not a lot.

Elizabeth Edwards

The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue.

David Hume

We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear.

King Hussein

Truth strikes us from behind and in the dark, as well as from before and in broad daylight.

Henry David Thoreau

My dad is still Christian Scientist. My mom's not, and I'm not. But I believe in God, and that there's a higher power and an intelligence that's bigger than us and that we can rely on. It's not just us, thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support.

Ellen DeGeneres

If you go in for argument, take care of your temper. Your logic, if you have any, will take care of itself.
