Don't look for society to give you permission to be yourself.

When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.

Mark Twain

A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts.

Steve Prefontaine

Nothing unites the English like war. Nothing divides them like Picasso.

Hugh Mills

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Henry Winkler

Forgiveness is always free. But that doesn't mean that confession is always easy. Sometimes it is hard. Incredibly hard. It is painful to admit our sins and entrust ourselves to God's care.

Erwin W. Lutzer

Mythology and science both extend the scope of human beings. Like science and technology, mythology, as we shall see, is not about opting out of this world, but about enabling us to live more intensely within it.

Karen Armstrong

Unless they are immediate victims, the majority of mankind behaves as if war was an act of God which could not be prevented; or they behave as if war elsewhere was none of their business. It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.

Martha Gellhorn

White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home.

Ron Fournier

I think my children know that Mother's priority is to be with them first. But I don't think it has to be an either/or situation. Work is very important to me, and it wouldn't be in the best interest of my children for me to stay home seven days a week.

Jane Pauley

All I want is a gentleman. I'm sick to bloody death of bastards.

Katie Price

If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.

Isaac Asimov

I'm not for gay marriage, but I'm not for discriminating against people.

Joel Osteen
