Three things drive a man outdoors; smoke, a leaking roof and a scolding wife.

The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord's promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.

Charles Stanley

It was impossible to quarrel with words, whose tremulous inequality showed indisposition so plainly.

Stephen King

'Metals' has partly been about me regaining my self respect and I feel like I'm growing the muscles I want to grow again.

Feist

Things were bad but now they are OK.

Harold J. Seymore

Francoise Sagan

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

Benjamin Franklin

Los Angeles was an impression of failure, of disappointment, of despair, and of oddly makeshift lives. This is California? I thought.
