It's so tempting to try to do it all, so as not to miss out. But to do all of those 'good things' means you'll do none of them well.

That thou seest, man, become too thou must; God, if thou seest God, dust, if thou seest dust.

Brother Angelus

A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.

Joan Didion

Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

Abraham J. Heschel

You have to be able to recognize your truths in the daylight before you can find them in the dark.

Kelli Jae Baeli

Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself.

David Brown

Make a customer, not a sale.

Katherine Barchetti

Rhetoric, it seems, is a producer of persuasion for belief, not for instruction in the matter of right and wrong... And so the rhetorician's business is not to instruct a law court or a public meeting in matters of right and wrong, but only to make them believe.

Plato

It was a very bizarre experience for me, to get the songs together, go in there, and try to deliver them as I would perhaps in a live setting. But I realized that I couldn't take on that coffeehouse style that I came from and go in there and burn it up.

Jason Mraz

For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John.

C.S. Lewis

I am the broth of love. Make soup to me.

Jarod Kintz

I believe everyody in the world should have guns. Citizens should have bazookas and rocket launchers too. I believe that all citizens should have their weapons of choice. However, I also believe that only I should have the ammunition. Because frankly, I wouldn't trust the rest of the goobers with anything more dangerous than string.

Scott Adams

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.
