Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.

Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity, and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic.

Ivan Lendl

But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.

Thomas Jefferson

Gradually the healing took place, seeming as it always does that it wasn't taking place.

Ursula K. Le Guin

O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Life isn't like coursework, baby. It's one damn essay crisis after another.

Boris Johnson

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

Muriel Spark

My dad is a lawyer and my mom is an artist. So growing up was exactly what it sounds like - strict household but a lot of creativity. They are so psyched that I get to make music for a living. My parents rule.

Ty Segall

The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice.

George Eliot

A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.

Virginia Woolf

Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

Plato

Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go looking for it, and I think it can often be poisonous.

Kurt Vonnegut

The world we live in might not be free from pain, but you have the ability to create for yourself a world free from struggle.
