Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

How do you define God? Like this. A God I could understand, at least potentially, was infinitely more interesting and relevant than one that defied comprehension.

Robert J. Sawyer

It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse.

David Bailey

Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.

Garrison Keillor

War: a massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who know each other but don't massacre each other.

Paul Valery

Our democracy, our constitutional framework is really a kind of software for harnessing the creativity and political imagination for all of our people. The American democratic system was an early political version of Napster.

Al Gore

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

Ben Harper

I'd try to channel my nervous energy in a positive way into strength and endurance. It didn't always work.

Kristi Yamaguchi

No man succeeds without faith. Whether you call it religious faith or label it something else. I don't feel anything worthwhile is accomplished without it. When you believe there is a Supreme Being guiding the destiny of this universe and that within each of us there is a little part of that Being, then you will have faith in yourself, in your country, in that Supreme Being, and in humanity itself.

Walter Knott

The science fiction approach doesn't mean it's always about the future; it's an awareness that this is different.

Neal Stephenson

Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one.

John Sterling

No man who is in a hurry is quite civilized.

Will Durant

The nicest thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
