I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

They are all parts of time, and the past and future are created species of time, which we unconsciously but wrongly transfer to the eternal essence; for we say that he was, he is, he will be, but the truth is that is alone is properly attributed to him, and that was and will be only to be spoken of becoming in time, for they are motions, but that which is immovably the same cannot become older or younger by time, nor ever did or has become, or hereafter will be, older or younger, nor is subject at all to any of those states which affect moving and sensible things and of which generation is the cause. These are the forms of time, which imitates eternity and revolves according to a law of number. Moreover, when we say that what has become is become and what becomes is becoming, and that what will become is about to become and that the non-existent is non-existent-all these are inaccurate modes of expression...

Mahatma Gandhi

Inner beauty, too, needs occasionally to be told it is beautiful.

Robert Brault

Money is to my social existence what health is to my body.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.
