Blessed is the man who finds out which way God is moving and then gets going in the same direction.

Deception was an inherent trait of intelligent beings. Even his love, in her ample ardor, would weave him a guilty lie for his own good. And he treasured her just as well for those tales he was sure she'd already spun.

Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities.

Alfred L. Kroeber

If you're white and you're wrong, then you're wrong; if you're black and you're wrong, you're wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green - God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.

Bob Marley

Movies are like magic tricks.

Jeff Bridges

From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever That dead men rise up never That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

I have enforced the law against killing certain animals and many others, but the greatest progress of righteousness among men comes from the exhortation in favor of non-injury to life and abstention from killing living beings.

Asoka

When you feel sad, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has those days when you doubt yourself, and when you feel like everything you do sucks, but then there's those days when you feel like Superman. It's just the balance of the world. I just write to feel better.

Mac Miller

Love matches are made by people who are content, for a month of honey, to condemn themselves to a life of vinegar.

Marguerite Blessington

There never was a good war, or a bad peace.

Benjamin Franklin

If we did a good act merely from love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist?...Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of God.

Thomas Jefferson

We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

Oscar Wilde

This world is full of beauty, as other worlds above, and if we did our duty, it might be as full of love.

Gerald Massey
