When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.

Let us have peace.

Ulysses S. Grant

The Relation we bear to the Wisdom of the Father, the Son of His Love, gives us indeed a dignity which otherwise we have no pretence to. It makes us something, something considerable even in God's Eyes.

Mary Astell

Out there in some garage is an entrepreneur who’s forging a bullet with your company’s name on it.

Gary Hamel

People of a vertain rank will always keep a cool distance from common people, as if they were afraid to lose their dignity by too much familiarity.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

One who has lost confidence can lose nothing more.

Boiste

Man cannot live by incompetence alone.

Charlotte Whitton

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Mark Twain

Flattery makes friends and truth makes enemies.

Proverb

When speculation has done its worst, two and two still make four.

Samuel Johnson

To work and create 'for nothing', to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day while being aware that fundamentally this has no more importance than building for centuries- this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions. Performing these two tasks simultaneously, negating on one hand and magnifying on the other, is the way open to the absurd creator. He must give the void its colors.

Albert Camus

One world is aware and by far the largest to me, and that is myself, / And whether I come to my own to-day or in ten thousand or ten / million years, / I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait.

Walt Whitman

As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand.

Ernest Hemingway
