I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.

Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it; doubt all, but do not doubt yourself.Croyez ceux qui cherchent la v

Andre Gide, from Ainsi soitil So

To be too conscious is an illness. A real thorough going illness.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

Dorothy Parker

And if we do not stand now, then when will a stand be taken against evil?

Bodie Thoene

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. She cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....Nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

When you're younger, your inspiration is there. As you get older, it tends to waver. Once you find it - I found it again - that's where you can draw from. That's where you draw your strength from.

Elvis Stojko

There is only one home to the life of a river-mussel there is only one home to the life of a tortoise there is only one shell to the soul of man: there is only one world to the spirit of our race. If that world leaves its course and smashes on boulders of the great void, whose world will give us shelter?

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

Lake Bell

My musical knowledge is so bad it's embarrassing. When composers discuss music with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in terms of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo.

Jane Campion

(The presence of evil) in his life provokes him into either overcoming it or yielding to it. If the first, it has led him to work for his own improvement; if the second it has led him to acknowledge his own weakness. Sooner or later, the unpleasant consequences of such weakness will lead him to grapple with it, and develop his power of will...Immediately and directly, it may either strengthen him or weaken him. Ultimately, it can only strengthen him.

Paul Brunton

Never trust anyone who wants what you've got. Friend or no, envy is an overwhelming emotion.
