...neither tolerance nor intolerance is grounded in science and reason, but they are themselves acts of faith grounded in social custom and the politics of expediency and power.

The more you reason the less you create.

Raymond Chandler

The kingdom of God could be realized simply by daring to live differently from the normal conventions. The kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus was not an apocalyptic or heavenly projection of otherworldly desire. It was driven by a desire to think that there must be a better way to live together than the present state of affairs. And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.

Burton L. Mack

Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, the baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, the indifferent judge between the high and low.

Sir Philip Sidney

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are foosteps on the moon.

Anon.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, camping and jogging and running, walking along the beach, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.

Larry Wilcox

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

Casey (Charles Dillon) Stengel

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our accepting and willing are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

A. W. Tozer

I bought an echo and you bought a gecko... stuff.

Leslie Hochsztein

Always be nice to people on the way up; because you'll meet the same people on the way down.

Wilson Mizner

I'm convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that's not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.

Charles Stanley

Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.

James Allen

Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are.

Ellen DeGeneres
