A cat is a soft, indestructible automaton provided by nature to be kicked when things go wrong in the domestic circle.

When you truly embrace your human impermanence you connect with the power you have, and influence you have, over the time you have.

The Iraq war was fought by one-half of one percent of us. And unless we were part of that small group or had a relative who was, we went about our lives as usual most of the time: no draft, no new taxes, no changes. Not so for the small group who fought the war and their families.

Rachel Stevens

We can offer up much in the large, but to make sacrifices in little things is what we are seldom equal to.

Johann von Goethe

Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving.

Dan Millman

I don't know what I would have done without believing in God. His support gives me power and energy to continue to be optimistic, to smile, not to be depressed. Sometimes, if things are not going so well, I don't cry. I say maybe it's meant to be.

Ofra Haza

There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary.

Nigel Lythgoe

It is my opinion that a story worth reading only in childhood is not worth reading even then.

C.S. Lewis

My father invented a cure for which there was no disease and unfortunately my mother caught it and died of it.

Victor Borge

Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.

James Allen

In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.

Arthur Schopenhauer
