The purpose of problems is to push you toward obedience to God's laws, which are exact and cannot be changed. We have the free will to obey them or disobey them. Obedience will bring harmony, disobedience will bring you more problems.

I wanted to be a great white hunter, a prospector for gold, or a slave trader. But then, when I was eight, my parents sent me to a boarding school in South Africa. It was the equivalent of a British public school with cold showers, beatings and rotten food. But what it also had was a library full of books.

Wilbur Smith

No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavoring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.

William Robertson Smith

Though I am a Catholic, a professing one, I have serious doubts about the survival of the human personality after death.

Taylor Caldwell

If you ever have to support a flagging conversation, introduce the topic of eating.

Leigh Hunt

All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.

Michael Franti

I don't believe that I personally have been changed by the money. The bad thing is people assume you've changed because now you have money.
