If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him, all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit.

I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me, that was fascinating.

The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

Rainer Maria Rilke

What would come, would come...and you would have to meet it, when it did.

J.K. Rowling

There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon. We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.

Emile Durkheim

If the world comes to an end, I want to be in Cincinnati. Everything comes there ten years later.

Mark Twain

It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Oh, the blues ain't nothing but a good woman feeling bad.

Georgia White

The accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference.

Bess Myerson

A teacher must believe in the value and interest of his subject as a doctor believes in health.

Gilbert Highet

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts. The right defence against false sentiments is to inculcate just sentiments. By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. For famished nature will be avenged and a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.

C.S. Lewis

I know that war is very cruel and that life is harder when you aren't able to live in the place you called home.

Madeleine Albright

Some faults are so closely allied to qualities that it is difficult to weed out the vice without eradicating the virtue.
