All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

Enthusiasm is that temper of the mind in which the imagination has got the better of the judgment.

William Warburton

I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.

Ari Graynor

I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.

Ronald Reagan

I try to write lyrics so that they won't age, which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.

Florence Welch

Thank you to our farmers for all you do to keep food on our tables.

Elise Stefanik

I cannot forgive a scholar his homeless despondency.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Well, I get my subject on Wednesday night I think it out carefully on Thursday, and make my rough sketch on Friday morning I begin, and stick to it all day, with my nose well down on the block.

John Tenniel

The text is merely one of the contexts of a piece of literature, its lexical or verbal one, no more or less important than the sociological, psychological, historical, anthropological or generic.

Leslie Fiedler

Perhaps this is what it was all about. Leaning on God when life made no sense, as well as when the answers seem clear.

Tracie Peterson

For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.

Alice Walker

There is in the end no remedy but truth. It is the one course that cannot be evil.

Ellis Peters

A great mind becomes a great fortune.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca
