The perfect joys of heaven do not satisfy the cravings of nature.

Cocaine is God's way of saying you're making too much money.

Robin Williams

Anyone working for a big company might be skeptical that a large business, or even a strictly online business, can form the same kind of friendly, loyal relationship with customers as a local retailer. I'm saying it's already been done because I lived it.

Gary Vaynerchuk

It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world. Expecting more novelty than there is, more greatness than there is, and more strangeness than there is, we imagine ourselves masters of a plastic universe. But a world we can shape to our will is a shapeless world.

Daniel J. Boorstin

The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.

St. Bernard

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.

LaoTzu

It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.

Charles Kuralt

To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.

LouisFerdinand Celine

The greatest trouble with most of us is that our demands upon ourselves are so feeble, the call upon the great within of us so weak and intermittent that it makes no impression upon the creative energies; it lacks the force that transmutes desires into realities.

Orison Swett Marden

Now, my own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose. I have read and heard many attempts at a systematic account of it, from materialism and theosophy to the Christian system or that of Kant, and I have always felt that they were much too simple. I suspect that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of, or can be dreamed of, in any philosophy.

J.B.S. Haldane, Possible Worlds:

. . . there is a wish in the heart of mankind to be distracted and confused. Truth is but one attraction, and not always the most powerful.

Joyce Carol Oates

I think for the most part people are proud of the bicultural foundation New Zealand is built on and the fact that we are a multicultural society.

John Key

What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass it is almost exactly 13 years since the overwhelming majority of people in Ireland and Northern Ireland voted in favour of the agreement signed on Good Friday 1998, paving the way for Northern Ireland to become the exciting and inspirational place that it is today.
