In order to form correct habits, we should seek the company of persons of sound moral and religious influence. We should constantly bear in mind that we may be fitting to inhabit the heavenly courts. The precious hours of probation are granted that we may remove every defect from the character; and we should seek to do this, not only that we may obtain the future life, but that we may be useful here. Young men and women should regard a good character as a capital of more value than gold or silver or stocks. It will be unaffected by panics and failures, and will bring rich returns when earthly possessions shall be swept away.

Those who are purporting this one-world government ideology seek to achieve the pinnacle of power like so many that came before them did. And yes, they are the wolves afflicting the human race with death. They are like a cancer.

Pornography is rather like trying to find out about a Beethoven symphony by having somebody tell you about it and perhaps hum a few bars.

Robertson Davies

During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.

Michael Franti

It's harder and harder to make a well-done romantic comedy these days because the conventions have been so played out.

Dana Fox

We simply do not understand our place in the universe and have not the courage to admit it.

Barry Lopez

To give an accurate and exhaustive account of that period would need a far less brilliant pen than mine.

Max Beerbohm

The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them. But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day by day. These decisions require courage.

Rollo May

It is often the failure who is the pioneer in new lands, new undertakings, and new forms of expression.

Eric Hoffer

Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war --for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.

John Lennon, Quoted in: Beatles

Adventures are never fun while you're having them.

C.S. Lewis

Always try to be joyful and proactively benign to the people. By doing so everyday, people have no control at all over my mood.

Toba Beta

There are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express the depth of my love for you.
