When He talks of their losing their selves, He means only abandoning the clamor of self-will; once they have done that, He really gives them back all their personality, and boasts (I am afraid, sincerely) that when they are wholly His they will be more themselves than ever.

A good soldier, like a good horse, cannot be of a bad color.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

Johann von Goethe

No one to blame! That was why most people led lives they hated, with people they hated. How wonderful to have someone to blame! How wonderful to live with one's nemesis! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

Erica Jong

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Jesus Christ

I think even in a good marriage, especially if you stay together long enough, there are going to be events that happen.

Tori Amos

It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.

Kristen Stewart

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

Warren Buffett

The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.

Alexis de Tocqueville

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny

Heraclitus

In all evils which admits a remedy, impatience should be avoided, because it wastes the time and attention in complaints which, if properly applied, might remove the cause.

Samuel Johnson

There are times that people can be so blinded by what they want IT to be, that whatever reality they perceieve it SHOULD be, they lose.

Jared Matthew Kessler

Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.

Juliette Lewis
