Let's say you're walking around and you find a watch on the ground. As you examine it, you marvel at the intricately complex interweaving of its parts, a means to an end. Surely you wouldn't think this marvel would have come about by itself. The watch must have a maker. Just as the watch has such complex means to an end, so does nature to a much greater extent. Just look at the complexity of the human eye. Thus we must conclude that nature has a maker too!

The United States never lost a war or won a conference.

Will Rogers

Always be a poet, even in prose.

Charles Baudelaire

Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.

William Penn

There is nothing more likely to drive a man mad, than the being unable to get rid of the idea of the distinction between right and wrong, and an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.

William Hazlitt

A man is known by the books he reads.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hatred is never ended by hatred but by love

Buddha

A girl's got to do what she's got to do to make somebody pay her a compliment. If that means moaning 'til the cows come home, then so be it.

Cat Deeley

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another

Thomas Merton

We each have a personal myth, a vision of who we really are and what we want. Health means that part of what you want is to give to others.

George Weinberg

Another drag, and he thought that it was like having your mind shaken out like a duvet, so that it resettled without creases, so that everything became smooth and simple and easy and good.

J.K. Rowling

The world is filled with human toxins -- not the darkness that we all occasionally crave, but actually people who are so unwilling to bask in the angelic light that is offered us all that they grow poisonous -- and you can pray for their eventual recovery and healing. And sometimes those prayers will be answered. But sometimes these individuals have been vaccinated against goodness and against angels and they are so unwilling to give an inch to their God that often they never (and I use this expression absolutely literally) see the light.

Chris Bohjalian

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life, is rounded with a sleep. The Tempest

William Shakespeare
