The historian's job is to aggrandize, promoting accident to inevitability and innocuous circumstance to portent.

Her black is beautiful, his society is ugly.

Habeeb Akande

Every job has its downside. For example, being in a band the travel part of it - getting picked up from your house in a car, going to the airport, getting on a plane, going from the airplane to a van, then going from the van to a hotel.

Dave Lombardo

I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society.

Joel Osteen

The bare recollection of anger kindles anger.

Publilius Syrus

Journalism is a kind of profession, or craft, or racket, for people who never wanted to grow up and go out into the real world.

Harry Reasoner

I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.

Robert Benchley

My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother's voice and smile.

Jennifer Garner

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

Joyce Meyer

...and yet, though desirous to be gone, she could not quit the mansion-house, or look an adieu to the cottage, with its black, dripping and comfortless veranda, or even notice through the misty glasses the last humble tenements of the village, without a saddened heart. Scenes had passed in Uppercross which made it precious. It stood the record of many sensations of pain, once severe, but now softened; and of some instances of relenting feeling, some breathings of friendship and reconciliation, which could never be looked for again, and which could never cease to be dear. She left it all behind her, all but the recollection that such things had been.

Jane Austen

No religion with a universal message . . . under one flag can even momentarily entertain the idea of employing force to spread its message. Swords can win territories, but not hearts. Force can bend heads, but not minds.

Mirza Tahir Ahmad

It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.

Proverb

Because, sometimes, things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them.

Suzanne Collins
