We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. ~William Wilberforce

We like to think that our parents made a decision to bring us into the world. ~Christopher Eccleston

I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg. I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic. What I want to do is take whatever cinema is considered normal or successful at a particular time and play around with it, to use it as a way of luring audiences in. ~Terry Gilliam

It is objective evaluations that give our hardwiring principles teeth and drive the organization toward results that last. ~Quint Studer

The pleasure isn't in owning the person. The pleasure is this. Having another contender in the room with you. ~Philip Roth

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. ~Norman Vincent Peale

If you have someone in your life that you are grateful for, someone to whom you want to write another heartfelt, slanted, misspelled thank you note, do it. Tell them they made you feel loved and supported. That they made you feel like you belonged somewhere and that you were not a freak. Tell them all of that. Tell them today. ~Lisa Jakub

I consider Khomeini's position dangerous. He does not have the right to pass judgment; that is not the Islamic way. ~Naguib Mahfouz
#quotes #naguib-mahfouz #knomeini #power

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle

Where men of judgment creep and feel their way, the positive pronounce without dismay. ~William Cowper

It is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life. ~Jane Austen

What is nature? Art thou not the living government of God? O Heaven, is it in very deed. He then that ever speaks through thee, that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me? ~Thomas Carlyle

But every person who does serious time with a keyboard is attempting to translate his version of the world into words so that he might be understood. ~Betsy Lerner

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

The best thing a girl can be is a good wife and mother. It is a girl's highest calling. I hope I am ready. ~Nancy E. Turner

It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter. It is worth remembering that the Jeffersonian "wall of separation" between church and state has always been intended to protect the church from the state as much as the state from the church. ~Jon Meacham
