Because Quotes (page 315)

God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is... C. S. Lewis
You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist. Bob Dylan
Golo Mann quote: "Those are nearer to reality who can deal with it..."
Those are nearer to reality who can deal with it light-heartedly, because they know it to be inexhaustible. Golo Mann
A truce to philosophy!—Life is before me, and I rush into possession. Hope, glory, love, and blameless ambition are my guides, and my soul knows no dread. What has been, though sweet, is gone; the present is good only because it is about to change, and the to come is all my own. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Zig Ziglar quote: "The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you..."
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little. Zig Ziglar
Ram Dass quote: "It's very different because the Indians live as if they are..."
It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos. Ram Dass
To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves, that the line stretches all the way back, perhaps to God; or to Gods. We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die. The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrow, is always a measure of what has gone before. Alice Walker
Tommy Lee quote: "Just because we are wearing lipstick doesn't mean we can't..."
Just because we are wearing lipstick doesn't mean we can't kick your ass! Tommy Lee
I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington . . . I'm asking you to believe in yours."Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America's commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end. Barack Obama
Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be. Bella Abzug
Just because i know how to change a guys oil doesn't mean i want to spend the rest of my life on my back, staring up his undercarriage. Janet Evanovich
Forgiving and being reconciled to our enemies or our loved ones are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial... Desmond Tutu
Russell Banks quote: "No, because I am not a ventriloquist."
No, because I am not a ventriloquist. Russell Banks
She was right that reality can be harsh and that you shut your eyes to it only at your peril because if you do not face up to the enemy in all his dark power, then the enemy will come up from behind some dark day and destoy you while you are facing the other way. Frederick Buechner
I used to think she was quite intelligent , in my stupidity. The reason I did was because she knew quite a lot about the theater and plays and literature and all that stuff. If somebody knows quite a lot about all those things, it takes you quite a while to find out whether they're really stupid or not. J. D. Salinger
