It's easy to let life deteriorate into making a living instead of making a life. It's not the hours you put in, but what you out into the hours that count. Learn to express rather than impress. Expressing evokes a me too attitude while impressing evokes a so what attitude.

Friendship is inexplicable, it should not be explained if one doesn't want to kill it.

Max Jacob

Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature

Auguste Rodin

Hell is full of musical amateurs music is the brandy of the damned.

George Bernard Shaw

Singing songs like 'The Man I Love' or 'Porgy' is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck.

Billie Holiday

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

John Buchan

The expectations of life depend upon diligence the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

Confucius

I'm convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that's not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.

Charles Stanley

Personal identity seems like it's just such an American archetype, from Holly Golightly re-inventing herself in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' to Jay Gatsby in 'The Great Gatsby.' It seems like the sort of archetypal American issue. If you're given the freedom to be anything, or be anyone, what do you do with it?

Chuck Palahniuk

Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell.

Karl Popper

At the heart of the debate over intelligent design is this question: Can a scientific explanation of the history of life include the actions of an unseen higher being? The proponents of intelligent design, a school of thought that some have argued should be taught alongside evolution in the nation's schools, say that the complexity and diversity of life go beyond what evolution can explain.Biological marvels like the optical precision of an eye, the little spinning motors that propel bacteria and the cascade of proteins that cause blood to clot, they say, point to the hand of a higher being at work in the world.http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/22/national/22design.html

Kenneth Chang, In Explaining Lif

Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!

Sir Walter Scott

Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation.
