The universe is one of God's thoughts.

Here is the simple but powerful rule... always give people more than they expect to get.

Nelson Boswell

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.

Pearl Buck

Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we'll likely not see another like him.

Dick Van Dyke

I'll never love you anymore than I do, right this second. And I'll never love you any less than Ido, right this second.

Kami Garcia

Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves.

Sir Winston Churchill

Sign in lot: Church parking only. We will not forgive those who trespass against us.

Truth stood on one side and Ease on the other; it has often been so.

Theodore Parker

Logic is the technique by which we add conviction to truth.

Jean de la Bruyere

When bureaucrats talk about increasing our 'access' to x, y or z, what they're really talking about is increasing exponentially their control over our lives. As it is with the government health care takeover, so it is with the newly approved government plan to 'increase' Internet 'access.'

Michelle Malkin

It will be a marvellous thing - the true personality of man - when we see it. It will grow naturally and simply, flower-like, or as a tree grows. It will not be at discord. It will never argue or dispute. It will not prove things. It will know everything. And yet it will not busy itself about knowledge. It will have wisdom. Its value will not be measured by material things. It will have nothing. And yet it will have everything, and whatever one takes from it, it will still have, so rich will it be. It will not be always meddling with others, or asking them to be like itself. It will love them because they will be different. And yet, while it will not meddle with others, it will help all, as a beautiful thing helps us by being what it is. The personality of man will be very wonderful. It will be as wonderful as the personality of a child.In its development it will be assisted by Christianity, if men desire that; but if men do not desire that, it will develop none the less surely. For it will not worry itself about the past, nor care whether things happened or did not happen. Nor will it admit any laws but its own laws; nor any authority but its own authority. Yet it will love those who sought to intensify it, and speak often of them. And of these Christ was one.Know Thyself was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, Be Thyself shall be written. And the message of Christ to man was simply Be Thyself. That is the secret of Christ.

Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Und

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come

Thomas Carlyle

The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.

Arthur Koestler
