An old colored brother is said to have finished his prayer with words like these: and now good Lord; I know that you ain't going to let nothing come to me that me and you together can't handle.

To enjoy a good reputation give publicly, and steal privately.

Josh Billings

My brother got a .22 for his 12th birthday I got a .22. He got a hunting knife I got a hunting knife.

Stephanie Cutter

I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

Francesca Annis

If I have resistance to something, it means there's something wrong. The resistance to me is a sign of fear.

Billy Corgan

Fear God, and your enemies will fear you.

Benjamin Franklin

Finding happiness should not be seen as finding a needle in a haystack. Happiness is within. Each day is a blessing that brings an abundance of happiness. Therefore, finding happiness should be like finding a gift in a stack of gifts.

Steve Maraboli

It's frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself. It seems unfair. You can't assume the responsibility for everything you do --or don't do.

Simone de Beauvoir

Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It's a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.

Terry Pratchett

I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.

Theodore Bikel

You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.

Terry Gilliam

He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. This amicable conflict with difficulty helps us to an intimate acquaintance with our object, and compels us to consider it in all its relations. It will not suffer us to be superficial.

Edmund Burke

But the healing place is within you. Healing is a gift you were granted at birth, just as you were granted others. Use your gifts, child. Use the beauty, the courage, the hope and the love that is in you. Call upon your strength. Use compassion and faith. Even during sad times joy is within you. Bring it forth. Wisdom is there to guide you. Use any one of your gifts and you will rouse the power of your healing place. Use all of them and you will sustain it.
