The new pope knows that his task is to make the light of Christ shine before men and women of world - not his own light, but that of Christ.

If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.

Timothy Keller

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Soren Kierkegaard

Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

Adlai Stevenson

Nowadays, everybody assumes, when they wake up in the morning, if they have a question, it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is, someone will answer their question.

Jack White

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

Helen Keller

The life of the individual is a continuous combat with errors and obstacles, and no victory is more satisfying than the one achieved against opposition.

Gustav Stresemann

I just don't get death at all. Yes, it's there. But I don't get it.

Manolo Blahnik

Women, as some witty Frenchman once put it, inspire us with the desire to do masterpieces and always prevent us from carrying them out.

E.E. Cummings

Here Fashion is a despot, and no one dreams of evading its dictates.

Marguerite Gardiner

Then the enchantment became more dreamlike, until he felt that an endless river of swelling gold and silver was flowing over him, too multitudinous for its pattern to be comprehended; it became part of the throbbing air about him, and it drenched and drowned him. Swiftly he sank under its shining weight into a deep realm of sleep.

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship

I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
