My family brought me up to be very respectful of people.

No idea is so antiquated that it was not once modern. No idea is so modern that it will not some day be antiquated... To seize the flying thought before it escapes us is our only touch with reality.

Ellen Glasgow

Slavery is an institution for converting men into monkeys.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Avarice has ruined more souls than extravagance.

Charles Caleb Colton

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.

Michelle Branch

Time and tide wait for no man.

Chaucer

Bukan sifatku untukk kalah tanpa bertarung, bahkan saat kemungkinan untuk menang tampak begitu tipis. -Katniss

Suzanne Collins

The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.

Douglas Horton

The God of Peace, the God of Truth will shortly seal this truth, and confirm this witness, and make it evident to the whole world, that the doctrine of persecution for cause of conscience, is most evidently and lamentably contrary to the doctrine of Christ Jesus the Prince of Peace. Amen.

Roger Williams (theologian)

Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.

Mike Simpson

Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas -- including this one.

Dan Rather

It's difficult to discern the blessing in the midst of brokenness. Certain circumstances in life hurt, at times so intensely that we think we will never heal. After brokenness, we can experience God's greatest blessings. The dawn after a very dark and storm-wracked night is glorious. Joy after a period of intense mourning can be ecstatic. Brokenness is what God uses to replace our self-life with his desires and intents for us. Its end is blessing far greater than we could ever discover apart from being broken. It's spiritual maturity and joyous intimacy with God. Greater depth and power in our ministry to others. New dimensions of freedom, strength, and peace. And a wholeness that comes as God himself reassembles us into someone more closely resembling Jesus Christ.

Dr. Charles Stanley

The party of God and the party of Literature have more in common than either will admit; their texts may conflict, but their bigotries coincide. Both insist on being the sole custodians of the true word and its only interpreters.

Frederic Raphael
