And in that I cannot send unto you all my businesses in writing, I despatch these present bearers fully informed in all things, to whom it may please you to give faith and credence in what they shall say unto you by word of mouth.

Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

Epictetus

Sooner or later I'm going to die, but I'm not going to retire.

Margaret Mead

Karen Armstrong

My life is like a stroll upon the beach, As near the ocean's edge as I can go.

Henry David Thoreau

I played it for my bride, and one day you will play for yours.

Cassandra Clare

But I want you to know that you're a beautiful girl, far more beautiful than I ever was at your age, and that starving yourself to compete with all of those skinny celebrities who spend half their lives checking in and out of rehab is not only a completely unreasonable and unattainable goal, but will only end up making you sick.

Alyson Noel

I think God is something that people use to avoid reality. I think faith allows people to reject what is right in front of our eyes, which is that thing, this life, this existence, this consciousness, or whatever word you want to use for it, is all we have, and all we'll ever have. I think people have faith because they want and need to believe in something, whatever that something is, because life can be hard and depressing and brutal if you don't.

James Frey

I don't think I've ever felt that same kind of peace, the kind of serenity that I felt after acknowledging that maybe I was going to die of this TB.

Desmond Tutu

No man is wise enough, or good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.

Charles Caleb Colton

It's an indulgence to sit in a room and discuss your beliefs as if they were a juicy piece of gossip.

Lillian Hellman, Watch on the Rh

You do not need to pay attention to those voices within you that create pain, or make you feel less competent, smart or able.

Sanaya Roman
