For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Virginia Woolf

Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

Jean Anouilh

A burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The desire for success implants success consciousness which, in turn, creates a vigorous and ever-increasing habit of success.

Paul J. Meyer

Fear is, I believe, a most effective tool in destroying the soul of an individual and the soul of a people.

Bertrand Russell

I live quietly at home among my family and friends.

Antonio Tabucchi

Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside.

Greg Behrendt

The fear for a network is the viewer gets tired of you. Not that you lost any credibility, but they get tired of you.

Terry Bradshaw

Of course, I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.

Lea Thompson

As for America, it is the ideal fruit of all your youthful hopes and reforms. Everybody is fairly decent, respectable, domestic, bourgeois, middle-class, and tiresome. There is absolutely nothing to revile except that it's a bore.

Henry Adams

Jesus' miracles provide us with a sample of the meaning of redemption: a freeing of creation from the shackles of sin and evil and a reinstatement of creaturely living as intended by God.

Randy Alcorn

Have faith have faith. When you have nothing else have faith.

Francine Rivers

Circles, like the soul, are neverending and turn round and round without a stop

Ralph Waldo Emerson
