We must not wish anything other than what happens from moment to moment, all the while, however, exercising ourselves in goodness.

Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.

Paul Fussell

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Don't stand shivering upon the bank; plunge in at once, and have it over.

Sam Slick

Science follows the evidence wherever it leads, but Darwinism does not. So the present controversy over evolution is not a war between science and religion. It is primarily a war between Darwinism and evidence--and the evidence will win.

Jonathan Wells

Law, without force, is impotent.

Blaise Pascal

Art is a private thing, the artist makes it for himself; a comprehensible work is the product of a journalist. We need works that are strong, straight, precise, and forever beyond understanding.

Tristan Tzara

This was something she would keep hidden within herself, maybe in place of the knot of pain and anger she had been carrying under her breastbone...a security blanket, an ace up her sleeve.

Jodi Picoult

Ralph Abernathy

The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one.

Joan Baez

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples even though some of them still look down on me.

Saint Patrick

When committees gather, each member is necessarily an actor, uncontrollably acting out the part of himself, reading the lines that identify him, asserting his identity.
