The principle that certain sins should not receive the Church's testimony of forgiveness was probably no novelty at all, but had been applied in various churches perhaps, however, with no strict consistency.

No one every suddenly became depraved.

Juvenal

Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin.

Tacitus

I think in life we want to challenge ourselves.

Charlize Theron

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.

James Barrie, Peter Pan

You make your own dream. That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story. That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself. That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be. There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

John Lennon

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

Francis Bacon

Beware of one who has nothing to lose.

Italian Proverb

Minulla on paljon unelmia. Unelmat ovat minulle tärkeitä, koska ilman niitä en jaksaisi elää.

Marja-Leena Tiainen

We're all going to go crazy, living this epidemic every minute, while the rest of the world goes on out there, all around us, as if nothing is happening, going on with their own lives and not knowing what it's like, what we're going through. We're living through war, but where they're living it's peacetime, and we're all in the same country.

Larry Kramer

God has been good to me. My faith has been good to me in the moments of deepest suffering, doubt and fear.

Pierce Brosnan

Courage that grows from constitution often forsakes a man when he has occasion for it; courage which arises from a sense of duty acts ;in a uniform manner.

Joseph Addison

England has always been disinclined to accept human nature.

E. M. Forster
