No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.

When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.

Joel Osteen

An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.

Benjamin Franklin

When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone. Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. the good thief said from his cross (Luke 23:42). There are perhaps no more human words in all of Scripture, no prayer we can pray so well.

Frederick Buechner

I am thankful, of course, for the prize and thankful to God for each story, each idea, each word, each day.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Terry Pratchett

I like the way my heart beats, I like the way I think I don't need or want anything to change that.

Jordin Sparks

Why kick the man downstream who can't put the parts together because the parts really weren't designed properly?

Philip Caldwell

I think as a Canadian hockey player, you go through it in your mind so many times, being able to stand on that blue line and hear your national anthem play and being a gold medal champion, you dream of that. And then to be able to accomplish that and actually win a gold medal and represent your country its an amazing feeling.

Sidney Crosby

A vegetarian is a person who won't eat anything that can have children.

David Brenner

I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better.

Steve Jobs

There's no need to curse God if you're an ugly duckling. He chooses those strong enough to endure it so that they can guide others who've felt the same.

Criss Jami

He is a benefactor of mankind who contracts the great rules of life into short sentences, that may be easily impressed on the memory, and so recur habitually to the mind.

Samuel Johnson
