A pessimist thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.

In the service of the Lord, it is not where but how you serve.

J. (Joshua) Reuben Clark, Jr.

God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.

Albert Einstein

..It occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are. There were tricks we did with eggs, as children, to show how they were, in reality, tiny load-bearing marble halls; while the beat of the wings of a butterfly in the right place, we are told, can create a hurricane across an ocean. Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.

Neil Gaiman

It's like trying to describe what you feel when you're standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon or remembering your first love or the birth of your child. You have to be there to really know what it's like.

Jack Schmitt

I get up and a button falls off, I pick up my briefcase and the handle falls off I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

Rodney Dangerfield

From faith, hope, and love, the virtues of religion referring to God, there arises a double act which bears on the spiritual communion exercised between God and us the hearing of the word and prayer.

William Ames

The most heated defenders of a science, who cannot endure the slightest sneer at it, are commonly those who have not made very much progress in it and are secretly aware of this defect.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.

Francis Meehan

No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.

W. Clement Stone

A university is not a political party, and an education is not an indoctrination.

David Horowitz

I am sorry for those who have never had the experience of seeing the victory of a national liberation movement, and I feel cold contempt for those who jeer at it.

Christopher Hitchens

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

Friedrich Nietzsche
