Before, for me, peace could have been synonymous with boredom.

There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.

William Henry Harrison

Each morning is a new beginning of our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or loose Him, to keep faith or fall into disgrace.God created day and night for us so we need not wander without boundaries, but may be able to see in every morning the goal of the evening ahead.Just as the ancient sun rises anew everyday, so the eternal mercy of God is new every morning.Every morning God gives us the gift of comprehending anew His faithfulness of old; thus in the midst of our life with God, we may daily begin a new life with Him.In the first moments of the new day are for God's liberating grace, God's sanctifying presence. Before the heart unlocks itself for the world, God wants to open it for Himself; before the ear takes in the countless voices of the day, it should hear in the early hours the voice of the Creator and Redeemer.God prepared the stillness of the first morning for Himself. It should remain His.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.

Thomas John Watson, Sr.

Remorse: beholding heaven and feeling hell.

George Moore

The virtues chose Modesty to be their queen. I did not know that I was a virtue, she said. Why did you not choose Innocence? Because of her ignorance, they replied. She knows nothing but that she is a virtue.

Ambrose Bierce

But you have to understand, American democracy is not like the system you have. We're not an ocean liner that sails across the ocean from point A to point B at 30 knots. That's not American democracy. American democracy is kind of like a life raft that bobs around the ocean all the time. Your feet are always wet. Winds are always blowing. You're cold. You're wet. You're uncomfortable -- but you never sink.

Colin Powell

Boredom is the root of all evil--the despairing refusal to be oneself.

Soren Kierkegaard

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.

James Allen

We have in the service the scum of the earth as common soldiers.

Duke of Wellington Arthur Welles

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

Tony Robbins

I think it's great that she's not perfect and wasn't perfect. I think that's maybe why so many young girls and different people look up to Mac and respect her even more.

Catherine Bell
