Beware the fury of a patient man.

Wherever one finds oneself inclined to bitterness, it is a sign of emotional failure: a larger heart, and a greater self-restraint, would put a calm autumnal sadness in the place of the instinctive outcry of pain.

Bertrand Russell

A wise teacher learns in the midst of teaching; a wise student teaches in the midst of learning.

Mollie Marti

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.

C.S. Lewis

Whatever one believes to be true either is true or becomes true in one's mind.

John C. Lilly

Out of respect for custom he treats me as if all women were equally worthless. He gives custom more respect than he gives me.

Orson Scott Card

The Mode of circular reasoning is the form used when the proof itself which ought to establish the matter of inquiry requires confirmation derived from the matter; in this case, being unable to assume either in order to establish the other, we suspend judgement about both.http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/skepticism/

Sextus Empiricus

I know from my own experience and from other people in the business that when you come from a place where nobody knew who you were and then there is this sudden shift to where everybody now knows who you are, there's an adjustment that you have to make.

Kristen Wiig

I'll play with it first and tell you what it is later.

Bette Davis

There are times when we must sink to the bottom of our misery to understand truth, just as we must descend to the bottom of a well to see the stars in broad daylight.

Vaclav Havel

I begged my mom to let me start skating.

Debi Thomas

Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.

William Dean Howells

The good Lord is amazing He opens up doors. I was close to abandoning the dream, and He was like, 'Hey, slow down there, buddy.'
