The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.

The religious is any activity pursued in behalf of an ideal end against obstacles and in spite of threats of personal loss because of its general and enduring value.

John Dewey

It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood - no more - to man, and love to a woman is life or death.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think the real heroic teachers are the ones who work with kids, like my mom and my sister do.

David Duchovny

Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.

Louis Farrakhan

We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.

C. JoyBell C.

Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.

Stephen Chbosky

When you do what you love, the seemingly impossible becomes simply challenging, the laborious becomes purposeful resistance, the difficult loses its edge and is trampled by your progress.

Steve Maraboli

I have lived with my husband more than I have with my parents... I live beside him, and know his worries, his hopes, and his dreams for his nation. We believe that things happen by design, not in an arbitrary way. And we believe it is our duty to make things happen.

Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned

You know what I noticed when I was with Jacob? In your world, people can reach each other in an instant. There's the telephone, and the fax - and on the computer you can talk to someone all the way around the world. You've got people telling their secrets on TV talk shows, and magazines that publish pictures of movie stars trying to hide their homes. All those connections, but everyone there seems so lonely.

Jodi Picoult

I've learned any fool can write a bad ad, but it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one.

Leo Burnett

People tend to remember my performances, not me.

Ellen Barkin
