Faith is building on what you know is here, so you can reach what you know is there.

An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.

Pablo Picasso, Quoted in: Jaime

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

Albert Einstein

I think if there's a great depression there might be some hope.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti

I think the rise of China is one of the great events of all economic and human history, and I think this will be overwhelmingly a positive thing for the region and the world.

Paul Keating

The man whose only pleasure in life is making money, weighs less on the moral scale than an angleworm.

Josh Billings

Modeling, for me, was not fulfilling. I didn't see the point - although I was able to travel a great deal. I lived in Italy, Germany, and Spain, but I wasn't devoted to it.

Tom Welling

I couldn't walk down any street in Britain without being laughed at. It was a nightmare. My children were devastated because their dad was a figure of ridicule.

David Icke

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Michel de Montaigne

It is interesting to find that people of faith now seek defensively to say that they are no worse than Nazis or Stalinists.

Christopher Hitchens

It is always the case that when the Christian looks back, he is looking at the forgiveness of sins.

Karl Barth

The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.

Tony Buzan

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
