Human affairs are not serious, but they have to be taken seriously.

Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.

Tom Stoppard

I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain, physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right.

Abraham Lincoln

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.

Orison Swett Marden

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Proverb

Beauty is Nature's brag, and must be shown In courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, Where most may wonder at the workmanship; It is for homely features to keep home

John Milton

For good or ill, your conversation is your advertisement. Every time you open your mouth you let men look into your mind. Do they see it well clothed, neat, businesswise?

Bruce Burton

Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.

Vince Lombardi

I felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five saloons with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.

Carry Nation

When a relationship doesn't work anymore, it's terrible to stay with someone that you don't love.

Monica Bellucci

I like getting married, but I don't like being married.

Don Adams

This in essence is my goal. To set an example by doing what is good. If I live openly and honestly, I set an example of virtue, humanness, restoration, and healing. I give others permission to join me on my journey despite the fear of failure or the rejection it might elicit when they know they are not alone in their experience. The more of us who amass the courage to embark openly on this path, the more normal this experience becomes, effectively eliminating the tactic of shame and isolation that the enemy so often uses to cause us to falter.

Riisa Renee

There's been a concerted effort to steal Christmas.

Jerry Falwell
