I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.

Unshakable faith is only that which can face reason in all human epochs.

Allan Kardec

A lie will gallop halfway round the world before the truth has time to pull its breeches on.

Cordell Hull

Inexorable facts connect our consciousness with this body that we know; and that not merely as a whole, but the parts of it are connected severally with parts of our brain-action. If there is any similar connexion with a spiritual body, it only follows that the spiritual body must die at the same time with the natural one. Consider a mountain rill. It runs down in the sunshine, and its water evaporates; yet it is fed by thousands of tiny tributaries, and the stream flows on. The water may be changed again and again, yet still there is the same stream. It widens over plains, or is prisoned and fouled by towns; always the same stream, but at last 'even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.' When than happens, no drop of water is lost, but the stream is dead.

William Kingdon Clifford, Lectur

I was having that dream again, the good one where we're all in heaven and never heard of Treegap.

Natalie Babbitt

Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.

Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.

Orison Swett Marden

There's a divinity that shapes our ends,Rough-hew them how we will.

William Shakespeare

The emancipation of today displays itself mainly in cigarettes and shorts. There is even a reaction from the ideal of an intellectual and emancipated womanhood, for which the pioneers toiled and suffered, to be seen in painted lips and nails, and the return of trailing skirts and other absurdities of dress which betoken the slave-woman's intelligent companionship.

Sylvia Pankhurst

There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster, otherwise you get left behind. For me, there would be trouble in stopping learning.

Wayne Rooney

In matters of the heart as well, a certain level of negativity and suspicion is universally recommended. You may try to project a thoroughly positive outlook in order to attract a potential boyfriend, but you are also advised to Google him.

Barbara Ehrenreich

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Khalil Gibran

There are three great truths, 1st, That there is a God; 2nd, That He has spoken to us in the Bible; 3rd, That He means what He says. Oh, the joy of trusting Him!

James Hudson Taylor
