Henry David Thoreau quote: "What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch..."
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook. Henry David Thoreau
To no man does the earth mean so much as to the soldier. When he presses himself down upon her long and powerfully, when he buries his face and his limbs deep in her from the fear of death by shell-fire, then she is his only friend, his brother, his mother; he stifles his terror and his cries in her silence and her security; she shelters him and releases him for ten seconds to live, to run, ten seconds of life; receives him again and again and often forever. Erich Maria Remarque
As Emmanuel, Cardinal Suhard says, "To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda, nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist. Madeleine L'Engle
John Muir quote: "Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness..."
Handle a book as a bee does a flower, extract its sweetness but do not damage it. John Muir
Divinely wise souls often infuriate the worldly-wise because they always see things from the Divine point of view. The worldly are willing to let anyone believe in God if he pleases, but only on condition that a belief in God will mean no more than belief in anything else. They will allow God, provided that God does not matter. But taking God seriously is precisely what makes the saint. As St. Teresa put it, “What is not God to me is nothing.” This passion is called snobbish, intolerant,... Fulton J. Sheen
Ah! how little knowledge does a man acquire in his life. He gathers it up like water, but like water it runs between his fingers, and yet, if his hands be but wet as though with dew, behold a generation of fools call out, 'See, he is a wise man!' Is it not so? H. Rider Haggard
Happiness does not lie in amusement; it would be strange if one were to take trouble and suffer hardship all one's life in order to amuse oneself Aristotle
Epictetus quote: "Know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake,..."
Know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake, but for the sake of having done right? Epictetus
Belief is a meaningless word. What does it mean? I believe something. Okay, now you have someone who is hearing voices and believes in these voices. It doesn't mean they have any necessary reality. Your whole concept of your "I" is an illusion. You have to give something called an "I" before you speak of what the "I" believes. William S. Burroughs
And another thing. Don’t ever kid yourself about loving some one. It is just that most people are not lucky enough ever to have it. You never had it before and now you have it. What you have with Maria, whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being. There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and... Ernest Hemingway
You know, I guess I just don't like to talk a lot about sad things. Now you know my flaw. What good does it do to talk about sad things in the past? James Patterson
Dale Carnegie quote: "Happiness does not depend on any external conditions, it is..."
Happiness does not depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude Dale Carnegie
Albert Camus quote: "What is a rebel? Someone who says no. But saying no does not..."
What is a rebel? Someone who says no. But saying no does not mean giving up: it also means saying yes, with every gesture. Albert Camus
Jesus came into the world with good news, not bad news. He does not call us to a willpower religion that feels only duty and no delight. He calls us to himself and to his Father. Therefore, he calls us to joy. Of course, it is not joy in things. Jesus is not preaching a health, wealth, and prosperity gospel—one of America’s most lamentable exports to the world. It is joy in God and in his Son. John Piper
Oh! not handsome—not at all handsome. I thought him very plain at first, but I do not think him so plain now. One does not, you know, after a time. Jane Austen
