And if, by the end [of this book], you reckon you might still disagree with me, then I offer you this: you'll still be wrong, but you'll be wrong with a lot more panache and flair than you could possibly manage right now.

Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.

Zig Ziglar

Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle

Søren Kierkegaard

There is no holy life. There is no war between good and evil. There is no sin and no redemption. None of these things matter to the real you. But they all matter hugely to the false you, the one who believes in the separate self. You have tried to take your separate self, with all its loneliness and anxiety and pride, to the door of enlightenment. But it will never go through, because it is a ghost.

Deepak Chopra

Lascelles Abercrombie

Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Neil Armstrong

Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.

Gore Vidal

Sometimes a psychic tells you something and it feels wrong and others may be right on the money. It's your choice about whom to trust, and giving that trust is something we do ourselves.

Martha Beck

This is God's world, not Satan's. Christians are the lawful heirs, not non-Christians.

Gary North

If a man can see both sides of a problem, you know that none of his money is tied up in it.
