The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.

Why would I spend my time writing software in a language below the grade of love, if I can use one that makes my brain sing?

David Heinemeier Hansson

Do not ask the name of the person who seeks a bed for the night. He who is reluctant to give his name is the one who most needs shelter.

Victor Hugo

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.

Howard Thurman

Walk a mile in my shoes is good advice. Our children will learn to respect others if they are used to imagining themselves in another's place.

Neil Kurshan

Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.

Gaston Bachelard

Friends, both the imaginary ones you build for yourself out of phrases taken from a living writer, or real ones from college, and relatives, despite all the waste of ceremony and fakery and the fact that out of an hour of conversation you may have only five minutes in which the old entente reappears, are the only real means for foreign ideas to enter your brain.

Nicholson Baker

No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Luck marches with those who give their very best.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

They have a Right to censure, that have a Heart to help: The rest is Cruelty, not Justice.

William Penn

I first fell in love with music when I was a little boy. When I first heard music, I felt the beauty in it. Then, being able to tap along on a table top and box was great, but my favorite thing to do was to watch records spin. I would almost get hypnotized by it. These things are what drew me in initially.

Narada Michael Walden

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
