Go to your duty, every man, and trust yourself to Christ; for He will give you all supply just as fast as you need it. You will have just as much power as you believe you can have. Be a Christian; throw yourself upon God's work; and get the ability you want in it. ~Horace Bushnell

Illiterate him, I say, quite from your memory. ~Richard Brinsley Sheridan
#quotes #richard-brinsley-sheridan #ignorance

From early childhood, I was interested in understanding how the world worked, and assumed I would be some kind of physical scientist or chemist. But the truth was, I didn't know there was another kind of world, the inner world, that was just as interesting, if not more relevant, than what was going on in the outside world. ~Stephen LaBerge

The inspector ate only two of my tiny sandwiches: the first because he had'nt expected it to taste so awful; the second, I think, because he'd thought surely the first must have been a mistake. ~Karen Marie Moning

Could it be that all those reports coming from our own intelligence that Bush ignored was right all along? Could it be that the UN was right all along? ~Peter Schuyler

He who knows how to live, knows enough. ~Spanish Proverb
#proverbs #spanish-proverbs #life

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai

The right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon... has ever been justly deemed the only effectual guardian of every other right. ~James Madison

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse. ~James Madison

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you'll find your own happily ever after. ~Taylor Swift
#quotes #taylor-swift #entertainment #self #lying

I had wanted simply to convey to the reader by way of concrete example that life holds a potential meaning under any conditions, even the most miserable ones. And I thought that if the point were demonstrated in a situation as extreme as that in a concentration camp, my book might gain a hearing. I therefore felt responsible for writing down what I had gone through, for I thought it might be helpful to people who are prone to despair. ~Viktor E. Frankl

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ~English Proverb

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. ~Elizabeth Hardwick

I have always felt that kids are really smart. ~Michelle Trachtenberg
#quotes #michelle-trachtenberg #children #intelligence

What if loving something means you should mostly feel frustrated and thwarted? And then a little ruined, too, by the pursuit? But you keep coming back for more? ~Chang-Rae Lee

A handful of patience is worth a bushel of brains. ~Hobart Brown

Be not affronted at a joke. If one throw salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm, unless thou art raw. ~Oliver Goldsmith

The present can try to bury the past, an operation that is most atrocious when it is most successful. ~Mary McCarthy

The struggle to maintain peace is immeasurably more difficult than any military operation. ~Anne O'Hare McCormick
#quotes #anne-o-hare-mccormick #peace #military

A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache. It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away. If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do. ~Warren Spahn
