For me, I am left leaning when it comes to health and education, on the right when it comes to defense. So I don't know where I come on the political spectrum. And I think this the challenge that a lot of Jordanians have to deal with.

America's a family. We all yell at each other. It all works out.

Louis C. K.

Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts; old age is slow in both.

Joseph Addison

Life is our teacher. Life communicates with us all the time and it is a lesson to see how life continuously has led me to the people I need to met, to the situations I need to experience, and to the places I need to be. There has never been any real reason to worry since all small individual rivers are already on their way to the ocean, to the Whole. It is not about swimming, it is about relaxing and to float with the river in a basic trust that life already leads towards the sea of consciousness, towards the Whole.

Geoffrey Rush

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Since the printing press came into being, poetry has ceased to be the delight of the whole community of man it has become the amusement and delight of the few.

John Masefield

The figure of the enthusiast who has just discovered jogging or a new way to fix tofu can be said to stand or, more accurately, to tremble on the threshold of conversion, as the representative American.

Lewis H. Lapham

Knowledge of God's Word is a bulwark against deception, temptation, accusation, even persecution.
