Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

Some of us cannot be optimists, but all of us can be bigamists

Mark Twain

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.

Political folk talk a lot these days about 'messaging' - a neologism designed to describe the way in which parties and politicians consciously characterize their efforts. It is only intended to be positive - i.e., 'Our messaging is designed to show we care.'

John Podhoretz

A concept is stronger than a fact.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

George Orwell

It is not from reason and prudence that people marry, but from inclination.

Samuel Johnson

There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

Neil Gaiman

It's hard for a masked man to hide behind a mask when he isn't wearing one.

Lionel Suggs

I love my films. I have stacks and stacks of DVDs. I put 'Last of the Mohicans' on the other day with Daniel Day-Lewis. It hurts me to say it because he's a Millwall fan, but I think he's fantastic.

Alvin Martin

I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.

David Livingstone

When a person has no need to borrow they find multitudes willing to lend.

Oliver Goldsmith
