Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you. Peter 3:15

O Lord, if there is a Lord, save my soul, if I have a soul.

Joseph Ernst Renan

If you do know that here is one hand, we'll grant you all the rest.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

Earl Nightingale

Had I been present at the creation of the world I would have proposed some improvements.

Alfonso X

I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.

Pablo Picasso

The worthiest man to be known, and for a pattern to be presented to the world, he is the man of whom we have most certain knowledge. He hath been declared and enlightened by the most clear-seeing men that ever were; the testimonies we have of him are in faithfulness and sufficiency most admirable.

Michel de Montaigne

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Soren Kierkegaard

When I was at college, I worked in a department store called Brit Home Stores, which is a pretty lackluster department store, selling clothes for middle-aged women. My job was to walk the floor and find anything that was damaged, take it to the store room and log it.

Dominic Monaghan

True, conscious honour is to feel no sin; he's armed without that's innocent within.

Alexander Pope

The first element of greatness is fundamental humbleness (this should not be confused with servility); the second is freedom from self; the third is intrepid courage, which, taken in its widest interpretation, generally goes with truth; and the fourth --the power to love --although I have put it last, is the rarest.

Margot Asquith

The terrible immoralities are the cunning ones hiding behind masks of morality, such as exploiting people while pretending to help them.

Vernon Howard

We're not that much smarter than we used to be, even though we have much more information - and that means the real skill now is learning how to pick out the useful information from all this noise.
