No one has ever drowned in sweat.

In God's eyes, we're all the same.

Mark Willis

Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord.

Paul Henderson

I have nothing in my life besides my work. I am obsessed with it. I leave my house only when I'm forced to.

Asia Argento

Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.

Johnny Carson

There is no friend as loyal as a book

Ernest Hemingway

No man sees far, most see no farther than their noses.

Thomas Carlyle

The night is just a part of the day

Paulo Coelho

Her body accepted my brutal seed and took it to swell within, just as the patient earth accepts a falling fruit into its tender soil to cradle and nourish it to grow. Came a time, just springtime last, our infant child pushed through the fragile barrier of her womb. Her legs branched out, just as the wood branches out from these eternal trees around us; but she was not hardy as they. My wife groaned with blood and ceased to breathe. Aye!, a scornful eve that bred the kind of pain only a god can withstand.

Roman Payne

A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.

Phillips Brooks

I have the loving support of my girlfriend who still attends Wake Forest and is nearing graduation. She helps me cope with the everyday rigors of being an NBA player.

Tim Duncan

I am never at my best in the early morning, especially a cold morning in the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells, finding its way inside my clothing, nipping at my nose and ears.

James Herriot

Someone receives a promotion, gets an important assignment, makes a major discovery, or moves into the president's office. He's lucky, an envious person remarks. He gets the breaks; they're always in his favor. In reality, luck or the breaks of life had little or nothing to do with it. So-called luck usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by pull, but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day.
