The flood of print has turned reading into a process of gulping rather than savoring

I live to hail that season by gifted one foretold, when men shall live by reason, and not alone by gold.

George Linnaeus Banks

There are three great truths, 1st, That there is a God; 2nd, That He has spoken to us in the Bible; 3rd, That He means what He says. Oh, the joy of trusting Him!

James Hudson Taylor

I am the tool with which God works. My virtue is to participate in this work, and I can do so if I keep the instrument which is given to me, namely my soul, in immaculate condition.

Leo Tolstoy

How we relate with other people is dependent on how we rate ourselves and what we think about ourselves.

Stephen Richards

No man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.

Ezra Pound

In a relationship you have to open yourself up.

Neil LaBute

It is an axiom in my mind, that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This it is the business of the State to effect, and on a general plan.

Thomas Jefferson

My mom was a professional fitness competitor, so I go into the gym with her. I train with my dad and mother. It's embarrassing, because she's really strong.

Booboo Stewart

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

All questions of right to one side, I have never been able to banish the queasy inner suspicion that Israel just did not look, or feel, either permanent or sustainable. I felt this when sitting in the old Ottoman courtyards of Jerusalem, and I felt it even more when I saw the hideous 'Fort Condo' settlements that had been thrown up around the city in order to give the opposite impression. If the statelet was only based on a narrow strip of the Mediterranean littoral (god having apparently ordered Moses to lead the Jews to one of the very few parts of the region with absolutely no oil at all), that would be bad enough. But in addition, it involved roosting on top of an ever-growing population that did not welcome the newcomers.

Christopher Hitchens

There is no such thing as justice--in or out of court.

Clarence Darrow

looked death in the eye and did not seem disappointed.

Orson Scott Card
