The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the son of his own works.

When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.

Ann Brashares

If one must fight or create, it is necessary that this be preceded by the broadest possible knowledge.

Karel Capek

There are psychological repercussions to illness and we need a little more help to get through the effects not only on the afflicted but on the family. And I think there's even a place for humor in that.

Alan Thicke

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.

Martin Mull

Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus Christ

Thought is made in the mouth.

Tristan Tzara

But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master -- something that at times strangely wills and works for itself. If the result be attractive, the World will praise you, who little deserve praise; if it be repulsive, the same World will blame you, who almost as little deserve blame.

Charlotte Bronte

Well, once you've resigned yourself to the fact that you are the more mature pop performer and you're past the age you ever thought you would do it, you might as well do it as long as you can. As long as I can still lift a microphone, then I'll do it, you know.

Jarvis Cocker

A long and wicked life followed by five minutes of perfect grace gets you into Heaven. An equally long life of decent living and good works followed by one outburst of taking the name of the Lord in vain

Robert A. Heinlein

I have no particular love for the idealised worker as he appears in the bourgeois Communist's mind, but when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.

George Orwell

Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors.

Wm. Paul Young
