Heywood Broun quote: "Sports do not build character. They reveal it."
Sports do not build character. They reveal it. Heywood Broun
What is the point? We assume that every time we do anything we know what the consequences will be, i. e., more or less what we intend them to be. This is not only not always correct. It is wildly, crazily, stupidly, cross-eyed-blithering-insectly wrong! Douglas Adams
Annie Dillard quote: "Why do we people in churches seem like cheerful, brainless..."
Why do we people in churches seem like cheerful, brainless tourists on a packaged tour of the Absolute? Annie Dillard
In anything that does cover the whole of your life - in your philosophy and your religion - you must have mirth. If you do not have mirth you will certainly have madness. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Their Maker, she said, gives them the sky to carry because they are strong. These people do not know who they are, but if you see a lot of trouble in your life, it is because you were chosen to carry part of the sky on your head. -pg. 25 Edwidge Danticat
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get? only what you are expecting to give? which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving. Katharine Hepburn

I haven't found a drug yet that can get you anywhere near as high as a sitting at a desk writing, trying to imagine a story no matter how bizarre it is, [or] going out and getting into the weirdness of reality and doing a little time on the Proud Highway. Hunter S. Thompson
It is not that I do not get angry. I don't give vent to my anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice. Mahatma Gandhi
The women all had big minds because they were big animals, but they didn't use them for this reason: unusual ideas could make enemies and the women, if they were going to achieve any sort of comfort and safety, needed all the friends they could get. So, in the interest of survival they trained themselves to be agreeing machines. All their minds had to do was to discover what other people were thinking and then they thought it too. Kurt Vonnegut
Stephen Covey quote: "I think the most significant work we'll do in our whole life,..."
I think the most significant work we'll do in our whole life, in our whole world is done within the four walls of our home. Stephen Covey
John C. Maxwell quote: "If you start today to do the right thing, you are already a..."
If you start today to do the right thing, you are already a success even if it doesn’t show yet. John C. Maxwell

It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character. Joseph Heller
In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t. Desmond Tutu
