I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united; and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.

While they were saying it couldn't be done, it was done.

Helen Keller

The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.

William Barclay

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.

Kevin Smith

We are more often frightened than hurt and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I've got two brothers and two sisters, so there's five of us and we're all very close, which is cool.

Theo James

Our species uses music and dance to express various feelings: love, joy, comfort, ceremony, knowledge, and friendship. And each one is distinct and widely recognized within cultures. Love songs cause us to move slowly and fluidly, for example, while songs of joy inspire us to dance in a full-body aerobic way.

Daniel Levitin

A man is a god in ruins.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Many people are capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.

Alexander Pope

My misfortune is doubly painful to me because it will result in my being misunderstood. For me there can be no recreation in the company of others, no intelligent conversation, no exchange of information with peers; only the most pressing needs can make me venture into society. I am obliged to live like an outcast.

Ludwig van Beethoven

She was every inch the skeletal goddess that had been promised by the bones of her feet.

Jefferson Smith
