He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.

The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.

Henry Ward Beecher

Life isn't fair, so you have to play the best game you can with the cards you're dealt.

Marta Acosta

Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. The nude is condemned to never being naked. Nudity is a form of dress.

John Berger

I know absolutely nothing about where I'm going. I'm fine with that. I'm happy about it. Before, I had nothing. I had no life, no friends, and no family really, and I didn't really care. I had nothing, and nothing to lose, and then I knew loss. What I cared about was gone; it was all lost. Now I have everything to gain; everything is a clean slate. It's all blank pages waiting to be written on. It's all about going forward. It's all about uncertainty and possibilities.

Gregory Galloway

Who loves well, chastises well.

Proverb

This force, which is the best thing in you, your highest self, will never respond to any ordinary half-hearted call, or any milk-and-water endeavor, It can only be reached by your supremest call, your supremest effort. It will respond only to the call that is backed up by the whole of you, not part of you; you must be all there in what you are trying to do. You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure... Only a masterly call, a masterly will, a supreme effort, intense and persistent application, can unlock the door to your inner treasure and release your highest powers.

Orison Swett Marden

Poverty of course is no disgrace, but it is damned annoying.

William Pitt

My mother isolated herself from all family and friends for some 20 years. And never met her grandchild, my son.

Laura Schlessinger

That state is best ordered when the wicked have no command, and the good have.

Pittacus

I was proud to share the stories of my friends at Georgetown Law who have suffered dire medical consequences because our student insurance does not cover contraception for the purpose of preventing pregnancy.

Sandra Fluke

I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

Bryan Cranston

The secret of life is in art.

Oscar Wilde
