When we divert our love and emotions towards God, everything else follows.

Your life isn't behind you; your memories are behind you. Your life is ALWAYS ahead of you. Today is a new day - seize it!

Steve Maraboli

To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage

Ralph Waldo Emerson

'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Abraham Lincoln

I've felt that if you dwell too much on your errors, you're dealing in the negativity of things. I don't like that. I'd rather work on the positive reinforcement, the things I did well.

Hale Irwin

The terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States - and war is what they got.

George W. Bush

I think I'm the most positive guy still going in my generation, and I'm out there to prove that.

Luther Allison

In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.

Oscar Wilde

Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this, he knows where the danger is.

American planes full of holes and wounded men and corpses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation. The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires gathered them into cylindrical steel containers and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans though and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France though German fighters came up again made everything and everybody as good as new. When the bombers got back to their base the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America where factories were operating night and day dismantling the cylinders separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground to hide them cleverly so they would never hurt anybody ever again.

Kurt Vonnegut

It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.

Samantha Morton

Equality of rights means that some people cannot simply impose obligations on others, for the moral agency and rights of those others would then be violated.

Tom G. Palmer

There are as many pillows of illusion as flakes in a snow-storm. We wake from one dream into another dream.
