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.

The one who will be found in trial capable of great acts of love is ever the one who is always doing considerate small ones.

Frederick William Robertson

I'd never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn't meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.

John Lennon

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

A good teacher who can take the zero pay and help kids develop physically, emotionally, socially, is literally an angel.

Eva Amurri

My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'

Joe Biden

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are not even capable of forming such opinions.

Albert Einstein

I want to do all kinds of things. I want to do some comedy. I'd love to do a romantic comedy, and I'd love to do some period pieces with classical text. I'd love somebody to cast me as Macbeth, but for a film. I just want to be all over the place.

Kevin Alejandro

Fear God, and offend not the Prince nor his laws, and keep thyself out of the magistrate's claws.

Thomas Tusser

The founder of the Mona Foundation actually knew my dad for years, and the more I learned about it, the more I realized I really found the perfect charity. It sponsors schools and educational initiatives all over the planet.

Rainn Wilson

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.

Niccolo Machiavelli

It's very easy for me to thank everyone for the incredible contribution they've made to my life.

David Geffen

The hardest people to reach with the love of God are not the bad people. They know they are bad. They have no defense. The hardest ones to win for God are the self-righteous people.
